Answer:

a) $181

b) C(d, m) = 25d + 0.28m

Step-by-step explanation:

Car charges = $25 per day

Car charges per mile = 28 cents = $28/100 = $ 0.28

a)

Rental charges for 5vdays and 200 miles

= 25*5 + 0.28*200

= 125 + 56

=$181

b)

Let d be the number of days you rent the car, m the number of miles you drive the car, and C the cost in dollars of renting the car.) C(d, m). Therefore,

C(d, m) = 25d + 0.28m
