Barney was charged $90 for 3 days and 300 miles, so the daily fee is $90/3 = $30. The mileage fee is ($90 - $30)/300 = $0.20 per mile.Mary was charged $163 for 5 days and 600 miles, so the daily fee is $163/5 = $32.60. The mileage fee is ($163 - $32.60)/600 = $0.2183 per mile.So the correct answer is A) $17 per day; 13¢ per mile.
