Answer 2

u want explanation for each ??

Answer 3

yes please

Answer 4

a) 13322 - 13092 = 231.. thats difference when car rented and when oscar gave back..
so 231/ 14 = 16.5 ... 14 = gal is amount of fuel used in tank..

Answer 5

b) He rented it for 2 days at 92 $..
Therefore avg cost = 92/2 = 46 $

Answer 6

a) find the SUVs rate of gas consumption in mpg
we know the person drove 231 miles b/c 13322 - 13091 = 231 miles
we also know the person used 14 galons of gas total
so 231/14 = 16.5 mpg

b) find average cost of rental dollars per day
we know the person had the car for two days
the rental agency charged $92 (assuming that was just the cost for the rental)
92/2 = 46 so the rental company charged $46 a day

c) find average rate of travel, miles per day
we know they traveled 231 miles and had the car for 2 days
so 231/2 = 115.5

d) find rental rate, in cents per mile
251 cents

Answer 7

c) average rate of travel = 231 miles in 2 days so for a day 231/2 = 115.5..

Answer 8

d) rental rate cents per mile = total miles / total rent .. = 231/ 92 = 2.51 $ = 251 cents..
