Question #N770

A group of friends are planning a trip. They want to rent a car that costs $40 per day plus $0.25 per mile driven. If they plan to drive 200 miles and rent the car for 3 days, what is the total cost of the car rental?
A. $120
B. $140
C. $160
D. $180

Correct Answer is: D

The cost of driving 200 miles is 200 miles * $0.25/mile = $50. The cost of renting the car for 3 days is 3 days * $40/day = $120. The total cost of the rental is $50 + $120 = $170.
