To determine how much the company will charge Greg for renting a truck for 3 days and driving it a total of 150 miles, we need to break down the total cost into two parts: the daily rental cost and the mileage cost.
Here are the steps:
1. Calculate the daily rental cost:
- The company charges [tex]$60 per day.
- Greg rents the truck for 3 days.
- Therefore, the daily rental cost will be:
\[
60 \, \text{(dollars per day)} \times 3 \, \text{(days)} = 180 \, \text{dollars}
\]
2. Calculate the mileage cost:
- The company charges $[/tex]0.50 per mile.
- Greg drives the truck for 150 miles.
- Therefore, the mileage cost will be:
[tex]\[
0.50 \, \text{(dollars per mile)} \times 150 \, \text{(miles)} = 75 \, \text{dollars}
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the total cost:
- Add the daily rental cost and the mileage cost together:
[tex]\[
180 \, \text{dollars} + 75 \, \text{dollars} = 255 \, \text{dollars}
\][/tex]
Thus, the company will charge Greg a total of [tex]$255. Looking at the provided answer choices, the correct answer is:
(4) $[/tex]255
