Answer:
$290.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Rachel Perez rented a car for 3 days at $40.00 per day.
[tex]\text{The cost of renting a car for 3 days}=3\times \$40[/tex]
[tex]\text{The cost of renting a car for 3 days}=\$120[/tex]
We are also told that she pays $0.20 per mile for renting the car. As she covered a total distance of 500 miles, so cost of renting car foe 500 miles will be:
[tex]\text{Cost of renting the car for 500 miles}=500\times \$0.20[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cost of renting the car for 500 miles}=\$100[/tex]
As Rachel purchased the collision deductible for $10.00 per day to protect herself in case of an accident, so cost of collision deductible for 3 days will be:
[tex]\text{The cost of collision deductible for 3 days}=3\times \$10[/tex]
[tex]\text{The cost of collision deductible for 3 days}=\$30[/tex]
She also paid $40 for gasoline to cover 500 miles, so we can find total cost to rent the car for 3 days to cover 500 miles by adding all the expenses.
[tex]\text{The total cost to rent the car}=\$120+\$100+\$30+\$40[/tex]
[tex]\text{The total cost to rent the car}=\$290[/tex]
Therefore, the total cost to rent the car was $290.
