To find the total cost for each company for a 300-mile trip, we need to calculate the cost per mile and then add it to the base cost.
For Top-Notch Car Rental:
$0.35 per mile * 300 miles = $105
$150 base cost + $105 cost per mile = $255
For Fleetwood Car Rental:
$0.10 per mile * 300 miles = $30
$200 base cost + $30 cost per mile = $230
Therefore, Top-Notch Car Rental is more expensive by $25.
So the less expensive company is Fleetwood Car Rental by $25.
