Answer: $42.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A home improvement store rents it’s delivery truck for $19 for the first 75 minutes and $4.75 for each additional 1/4 hour.
Since, 1 hour = 60 minutes
1/4 hour = [tex]\frac{60}{4}=15\ minutes[/tex]
If a customer rented the truck at 11:10 am and returned the truck at 1:40 pm the same day, what would his rental cost be
Time taken = 150 minutes
Since charge for first 75 minutes is fixed and charge of $4.75 for each additional 1/4 hour (15 minutes) is given by
The additional charge =[tex]\frac{(150-75)}{15}\times4.75=23.75/tex]
The total his rental cost =[tex]19+23.75=$42.75[/tex]
