A rental car agency charges $27.00 per day and 25 cents per mile.
(a) Calculate the rental charge if you rent a car for 2 days and drive 200 miles. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

The total rental charge is composed of two parts: the daily rental rate and the cost per mile.

Given:
- Daily rental charge = $27.00
- Cost per mile = $0.25
- Number of days = 2
- Number of miles = 200

We can calculate the total cost as follows:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = (\text{Daily Charge} \times \text{Number of Days}) + (\text{Cost per Mile} \times \text{Number of Miles})
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = (27.00 \times 2) + (0.25 \times 200)
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 54.00 + 50.00 = 104.00
\]

Thus, the total rental charge is **$104.00**.
