Question 1204897

the daily cost to rent a truck is $19.95, with an added cost of $.50 per mile. How much would it cost to rent a truck for one day and drive it for 73 miles?

Total Cost=Daily Rental Cost+(Miles Driven×Cost per Mile)

Let total cost including mileage be $y 
Let number of miles driven =x


daily cost to rent a truck is $19.95
 $.50 per mile

y= 19.95+0.5x


y = 19.95+0.5*73= 56.45

 To rent the truck for one day and drive it for 73 miles it will cost $56.45
