Question 1186974: The cost of renting a car is $46 /wk plus $0.25 /mi traveled during that week. An equation to represent the cost would be y=46+0.25x , where x is the number of miles traveled.
a. What is your cost if you travel 59 mi?
The cost is $____
b. If your cost was $66.25 , how many miles were you charged for traveling?
You were charged for traveling _____ miles.
c. Suppose you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental. What would be the maximum number of miles you could travel?____
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a. y=46+0.25(0.59)
=$46+$14.75=$60.75
-
b. 66.25=46+0.25x
20.25=0.25x
x=81 miles
-
c.
100=46+0.25x
54=0.25x
x=216 miles
