Suppose that a car rental agency charges a fixed amount per day plus an amount per mile for renting a car. Heidi rented a car one day and paid $58 for 220 miles. On another day she rented a car from the same agency and paid $76 for 340 miles. Find the linear function f(x) (where x is in miles and f(x) is in dollars) that the agency could use to determine its daily rental charges.
\n" ); document.write( "let fixed charge per day is Rs X and Rs Y per miles
\n" ); document.write( "first equations will be
\n" ); document.write( "X+220y = 58 (1)
\n" ); document.write( "smilarly
\n" ); document.write( "X + 340 Y=76 (2) by subtracting equations (1) and (2)
\n" ); document.write( "120Y = 18
\n" ); document.write( "Y = 18/120= $3/20 per miles
\n" ); document.write( "by putting the value of y in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "X+220 x 3/20=58
\n" ); document.write( "X+33=58
\n" ); document.write( "X = 58-33 = 25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "therefore fixed charge per day will be $25 per day and charhe per mile will be $3/20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANswer \n" ); document.write( "
