    Total Cost = 24.60 x + 0.08 y where x is the number of days and y is the number of miles.

    Explanation:

    Let x be the number of days and y be the number of miles then the total cost TC of renting a car per day would be

    Total Cost = Cost per day (number of days) + Cost per mile (no of miles)

    Total Cost = 24.60 x + 0.08 y

    Suppose we rent a car for 5 days and use it 30 miles then the total cost would be

    Total Cost = $ 24.60 (5) + 0.08 (30)

    Total Cost = $123 + 2.4 = $ 125.4

    so the total cost of renting a car for 5 days and using it 30 miles would be $ 125.4
