Mary traveled by Jet Blue Airlines 155 miles to arrive in Washington DC. She is touring Washington D.C. for 3 days. The car rental is $19.25 per day plus 21 1/2¢ per mile. If Mary drives 362.95 miles, how much does she owe the rental company?

Answer: $135.78

Fixed cost for the car rental for 1 day = $19.25
Fixed cost for the car rental for 3 day = $19.25 x 3 = $57.75

Cost of the mileage traveled = 362.95 x 21.5
Cost of the mileage traveled = 7803 cents (nearest cents)

7803 cents = $78.03

Total cost = $57.75 + $78.03 = $135.78
