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

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3

can you rephrase the question ? it is unclear : -)
