Question

you are moving to a new home and have rented a truck to assist you with the move.Trailside Truck Rentals charges $39.95 per day plus 68 cents per mile. You will need the truck for 3 days and will travel 460 miles. If you have budgeted $400 for the truck rental,will this amount be sufficient to cover the cost?

Answer 1

so there are two parts..
If it's $39.95 a day, and lasts 3 days day one will be 39.95, day two will be another 39.95 and day 3 will be another 39.95
so 39.95 + 39.95 + 39.95
or 39.95 times 3.
part two,
460 miles at 68 cents a mile will be 460 times 68
Soooo,
(39.95*3)+(460*0.68)
and when you get the answer for that, if it is less than $400 then it is sufficient
