You would need to calculate the total cost for both companies for a 300-mile trip and then determine which one is cheaper.
For Top-Notch Car Rental:
C = $150 + ($0.35 * 300)
C = $150 + $105
C = $255
For Fleetwood Car Rental:
C = $200 + ($0.10 * 300)
C = $200 + $30
C = $230
Therefore, Fleetwood Car Rental is less expensive by $25.
The less expensive company is 2 (Fleetwood Car Rental) by $25.
