Question 5023: Here is the question?
With a GM Mastercard, 5% of the amount charged is credited toward a rebate on the purchase of a new car. Express the rebate R as a function of the amount charged A.
I came up with r = a x 0.05
Is this correct? I am so lost when it comes to word problems and algebra.
Thanks for you help.

Congratulations! You got it right.
A minor issue, but try to use the same letters in your answer that were given in the problem.
R = 0.05A vice r = 0.05a
