Answer:

$40+15x= 115$

Step-by-step explanation:

A truck is rented at $40 per day plus a charge per mile of use. The truck traveled 15 miles in one day, and the total charge was $115.

Let x be the charge per mile of use (dollar per mile)

The truck traveled 15 miles in one day. the charge for 15 miles is 15x

A truck is rented at $40 per day

So charge is $15x+ 40$

total charge was 115

So the equation becomes

$40+15x= 115$
