no - unfortunately, it's not correct.
\n" ); document.write( "it's 30 + .25 * (x - 50), assuming the renter will drive over 50 miles before returning the car.
\n" ); document.write( "the 30 is for the first 50 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "the .25 * (x - 50) is for the number of miles greater than 50.
\n" ); document.write( "example:
\n" ); document.write( "the renter goes 200 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "the charge is 30 for the first 50 miles and .25 * (200 - 50) for the remaining 150 miles.\r
