Answer 1

Answer:

Cost paid daily when using the motorcycle: $37,

Cost paid for each kilometer driven in the motorcycle: $ 0.23

Step-by-step explanation:

~ Let us first formulate the equations, provided x  ⇒ cost paid daily when using the motorcycle, and y ⇒ cost paid for each kilometer driven in the motorcycle ~

8x + 650y = 445.5, and 12x + 920y = 655.6

Now let us solve this equation through elimination, by multiplying the first equation by 3, and the second by -2:

3 ( 8x + 650y = 445.5 )     ⇒       24x + 1950y = 1336.5    ⇒    110y = 25.3

+ -2 (  12x + 920y = 655.6 )     +  -24x  - 1840y = - 1311.2            y = 0.23

Now we can substitute this value of y into the first equation as to solve for x:  8x + 650 ( 0.23 ) = 445.5, 8x = 296, x = 37

* Cost paid daily when using the motorcycle: $37,

Cost paid for each kilometer driven in the motorcycle: $ 0.23 *
