Below

Explanation:

A car rental agency has the following payment criterion:

  • 16 gallon tank --> 4.30×16=68.8
  • a GPS --> $14.95/day
  • renting a car --> $28/day

a) If a car is rented for "d" days, then an individual must pay
b=$68.8+$14.95+28×d
b=$83.75+28d

where b is the bill and d is the number of days

b) If the car is rented for 7 days, then d=7
b=$83.75+28d
b=$83.75+28×7
b=$279.75
