The daily rental charge for an automobile is $d. This includes 100 free kilometers per day; however, the renter is charged $k per kilometer for travel in excess of the 100 kilometers per day. Write a formula for the dollar cost (C) of an auto rental of n days where the renter travels x kilometers during the rental period. (Assume that the renter always travels more than 100 km/day on an average.) The renter in Question 15 above is being charged $29.00 per day for a sub-compact model and $.20 per kilometer for distances traveled in excess of 100 kilometers per day. How much will she be charged if she rented this particular model for 7 days and actually traveled 1450 kilometers in total?
