Not an expert, but this is a simple trick question. My assumption is you answered C and got it wrong - here's why - the prompts give you enough information to think C is the answer, but the key piece of information missing is how many days did Peter rent the car for?. No where is this answered; hence, you cannot determine that the cost of the rental is $50.00 + 25*$0.30 because if Peter rented the car for 10 days, the cost will be different than if he rented it for 2 days or just 1 day.
Hope this helps.
