Question

The cost of renting a car is $55/wk plus $0.15/mi traveled during that week. An equation to represent the cost would be

Answer 1

Answer:

$62.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation that models the cost of renting a car, y, as a function of the number of miles traveled, x;

y = 55 + 0.15x

If an individual travels 50 mi during a given week, the cost in dollars is determined by substituting x with 50 in the cost function above;

y = 55 + 0.15(50)

y = 62.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$62.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $y=55+0.15x$, which represents cost of renting a car and x is the number of miles traveled.

To find the cost of renting a car to travel 50 miles, we will substitute $x=50$ in our given equation as:

$y=55+0.15(50)$

$y=55+7.50$

$y=62.50$

Therefore, the cost of renting the car to travel for 50 miles would be $62.50.
