Question

A rental car company charges $80.00 just to rent a car, and $30.00 for each day you keep the car.

How much would it cost to rent a car for 2 days?

Number of days (n)Cost to rent a car (c)2$ 47

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost to rent a car for 2 days, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Base Fee} + (\text{Daily Rate} \times \text{Number of Days})
\]

Plugging in the values:

- Base Fee = $80.00
- Daily Rate = $30.00
- Number of Days = 2

Now calculate:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = 80 + (30 \times 2)
\]

\[
\text{Total Cost} = 80 + 60
\]

\[
\text{Total Cost} = 140
\]

So, the cost to rent a car for 2 days would be **$140.00**.
