Harriet rented an intermediate car for two days and drove it 500 miles. The daily rate was $36.99 and $0.32 per mile with the first 50 miles being free. If Harriet also had to pay 6 percent tax and $15 insurance per day, what was her total owed?

$247

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question completely, we need to take into consideration the different factors in place.

Firstly:

There is a daily rate of $36.99 per miles. She rented the car for two days and hence the cost incurred here would be : $36.99 * 2 = $73.98

Secondly:

There is a fee of 0.32 per mile with the first 50 miles free. Since the first 50 is free, she has to pay for 500 - 50 = 450 miles

Total cost here would be 450 * 0.32 = $144

Thirdly:

There is $15 insurance per day

The total amount to pay before tax would be: 73.98 + 15 + 144 = $232.98

There is a tax of 6% on this amount and that is 6/100 * 232.98 = 13.9788

Total amount paid thus becomes: 232.98 + 13.9788 = $246.9588

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

b. hoped i'm right lol
