1 answer

To find out which company is cheaper for a 300-mile trip, we need to calculate the total cost for both companies.

For top-notch car rental:
C1 = $150 + $0.35 * 300
C1 = $150 + $105
C1 = $255

For Fleetwood car rental:
C2 = $200 + $0.10 * 300
C2 = $200 + $30
C2 = $230

Therefore, the top-notch car rental is less expensive for a 300-mile trip by $230-$255 = $<<230-255=25>>25. Answer: \boxed{25}.
