Answer 1

To find the total amount Dave spent on the limousine rental, we first calculate the cost of renting the limousine for 4 hours and then add the tip.

1. **Calculate the hourly charges:**
\[
\text{Hourly rate} = 70 \text{ dollars/hour}
\]
\[
\text{Total hours} = 4 \text{ hours}
\]
\[
\text{Total charges} = \text{Hourly rate} \times \text{Total hours} = 70 \times 4 = 280 \text{ dollars}
\]

2. **Calculate the tip:**
The tip is 20% of the total charges.
\[
\text{Tip} = 0.20 \times 280 = 56 \text{ dollars}
\]

3. **Calculate the total spent:**
\[
\text{Total spent} = \text{Total charges} + \text{Tip} = 280 + 56 = 336 \text{ dollars}
\]

Therefore, the total amount Dave spent is **$336**. The correct answer is **D. $336**.
