the cost of a renting a car is $55/wk plus $0.15/ mi traveled during that week . an equation to represent the cost would be y =5
5+ 0.15x, where x is the number of miles traveled. suppose you have a maximum of 100 to spend for the car rental . what would be the maximum number of miles you could travel
The maximum number of miles you could drive would be 300. Multiply 0.15 by 300 and that adds up to $45. 45 + 55 = $100 An equation to explain this would be y = 55 + 0.15x y represents your $100 budget, 55 is the initial rental fee, and if you plug 300 in for x that solves your equation.
