Answer 1

Total cost of Renting the car would be $178.13

Explanation:

Calculation of Total cost of renting the car

The total cost of renting the car in New York City can be calculated as given below:

Fixed cost of renting the car per day = $22.25

Total Fixed cost of renting the car for 5 days = $\ 22.25 \times 5$

                                                                          = $111.25

Cost incurred on travelling one mile = $0.16

Cost incurred for travelling 418 miles = $418 \times \ 0.16$

                                                              = $66.88

Therefore,Total cost of Renting the car = Fixed cost for 5 days + Cost incurred on travelling 418 miles

Total Rent of car for 5 days = $\ 111.25+ \ 66.88$  

                                               = $178.13

Therefore,Total cost of renting the car for 5 days would be $178.13.
