Jamal is comparing his transportation options for an upcoming trip. He’s considering a rental car and a taxi service. Based on his planned routes during his trip, he expects a taxi service would cost about $128. Jamal could also get a rental car for a daily rate and unlimited miles. If Jamal’s trip will last 4 days and he expects to pay about $24 for gas, which graph shows the range of car rental rates that would be cheaper than the taxi service?
