Question

Question 4 options:

A)

$27.00

B)

$21.00

C)

$24.00

D)

$9.00

Answer 1

To find the cost of renting the drill press for one week, we need to calculate the cost of renting the drill press for 7 days.

The flat fee is $6.00, and the cost for each day is $3.00. So, for 7 days, the cost for each day will be $3.00 multiplied by 7, which equals $21.00.

The total cost for renting the drill press for one week is the sum of the flat fee and the cost for each day:

$6.00 + $21.00 = $27.00

Therefore, the cost of renting the tool for one week is $27.00.

The correct answer is A) $27.00
