Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The formula for the total rental cost of a car is:

`c = (d * r) + l + w`

Where:

`c` is the total rental cost - what we are trying to determine in this problem.

`d` is the number of days the car will be rented - 5 days for this problem.

`r` is the daily rental rate - $39 for this problem.

`l` is the loss damage waiver fee - $65 for this problem

`w` is the collisoon damage waiver fee - $0 for this problem.

Substituting and calculating `c` gives:

`c = (5 * $39) + $65 + $0`

`c = (5 * $39) + $65`

`c = $195 + $65`

`c = $260`

Jennifer's total rental cost will be `$260`
