Question

To rent a car, you must pay $0.30 per mile plus a maintenance fee of $35. Write and equation to represent this function.

Answer 1

Let y be the total cost and x be the miles taken:

y = 0.30x + 35

35 is a fixed cost. No matter how many miles you drive the car you will still need to pay $35

.30 is a cost that depends on the miles taken (x).

Hope this helped!
