    Sensational Rentals

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mr Cool's Rentals-

    432 minus 100 = 332

    332 * 0.11 = 36.52

    36.52 + 36.52 = 73.04 (because she's coming back you need to double it)

    73.04 + 99 = 172.04

    The cost will be $172.04 if she goes with Mr. Cool's rentals.

    Sensational Rentals-

    432 minus 150 = 282

    282 * 0.15 = 42.3

    42.3 + 42.3 = 84.6

    84.6 + 75 = 159.6

    The cost will be $159.6 if she goes with Sensational Rentals.

    Therefore, because 172.04>159.6 Sensational Rentals will have the better deal.
