Given:
Renting a small moving truck for a day costs $29.95 plus $0.79 per mile that the truck is driven. Ms. Knowles rented a truck for one day and paid $91.57.
The equation is
To find:
Whether the statement are true or false.
Solution:
We have,
Here,
Fixed cost = 29.95
Variable cost = 0.79d, it depends on the number of miles Ms. Knowles drove.
So, the variable d represents the number of miles Ms. Knowles drove. Hence, statement A is true.
The term 0.79d represents the charge in dollars for the distance driven. Hence, statement B is true.
You can isolate the term 0.79d by subtracting 29.95 from both sides of the equation.
Hence, statement C is false.
