Question 791438: formulas in words.please can you help me solve this:describe the following formula in words:c=50+08k,where c is the cost of hiring a car in dollars and k is the number of kilometers traveled
Answer by KMST(5347)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The formula says that the cost is 50 even if you travel 0 km, so that must be the fee for hiring the car, regardless of distance traveled.
The formula multiplies the number of kilometers traveled times 0.8 (you wrote 08, without a decimal point, but I assume you meant 0.8). That would mean that thy charge 0.8 per kilometer traveled.
If it is 0.8, the statement, in words would be:
"The cost of hiring a car is 50 plus 0.8 per kilometer traveled."
