A certain car rental agency rented 25 vehicles yesterday, each of which was either a compact car or a luxury car. How many compact cars did the agency rent yesterday?
(1) The daily rental rate for a luxury car was $15 higher than the rate for a compact car.
(2) The total rental rates for luxury cars was $105 higher than the total rental rates for compact cars yesterday
Given : C+L= 25
(1) The daily rental rate for a luxury car was $15 higher than the rate for a compact car.
if C cost \(x\) per day then L costs \(x+15\) per day
Still no way to find C
INSUFF.(2) The total rental rates for luxury cars was $105 higher than the total rental rates for compact cars yesterday.L\(y\) -C\(x\)= 105( where \(y\) is the rent per day for L and \(x\) is the rent per day for C )
Still no way to find C
INSUFF.1+2
using 1 we have \(y = x+15 \)
using 2 we have L(\(x+15\)) -C\(x\)= 105
We can see that using all the equations it is still not possible to find the value of C
INSUFF.Ans E
Hope it's clear.
