Question

A truck rental company rents a moving truck for one day by charging $25 plus $0.07per mile. write a linear equation that relates the cost​ c, in​ dollars, of renting the truck to the number x of miles driven. what is the cost of renting the truck if the truck is driven 220miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

c= 25+0.07 x

Step-by-step explanation:

number of miles travel is represented by "x"

cost per mile is represented by "c"

therefore we have equation,

c= 25+0.07 x

For 1 mile that is x= 1, cost c= $25.07

For 220 miles that is x= 220

c= 25 + 0.07 * 220

c=25+15.4

c= $40.4

For 220 miles the cost will be $40.4
