To calculate the cost to rent a car, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Base Charge} + (\text{Daily Rate} \times \text{Number of Days})
\]
In this case, the base charge is $70.00 and the daily rate is $40.00.
For **2 days**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 70 + (40 \times 2) = 70 + 80 = 150
\]
For **4 days**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 70 + (40 \times 4) = 70 + 160 = 230
\]
For **7 days**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 70 + (40 \times 7) = 70 + 280 = 350
\]
Now, let's summarize the costs:
- For 2 days: **$150.00**
- For 4 days: **$230.00**
- For 7 days: **$350.00**
Here's the completed table:
| Number of days (n) | Cost to rent a car (c) |
|---------------------|-------------------------|
| 2 | $150 |
| 4 | $230 |
| 7 | $350 |
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Base Charge} + (\text{Daily Rate} \times \text{Number of Days})
\]
In this case, the base charge is $70.00 and the daily rate is $40.00.
For **2 days**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 70 + (40 \times 2) = 70 + 80 = 150
\]
For **4 days**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 70 + (40 \times 4) = 70 + 160 = 230
\]
For **7 days**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 70 + (40 \times 7) = 70 + 280 = 350
\]
Now, let's summarize the costs:
- For 2 days: **$150.00**
- For 4 days: **$230.00**
- For 7 days: **$350.00**
Here's the completed table:
| Number of days (n) | Cost to rent a car (c) |
|---------------------|-------------------------|
| 2 | $150 |
| 4 | $230 |
| 7 | $350 |
