Answer: 249 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First write a function that represents the amount paid for renting a truck:</em>

  • Set x as each mile driven.
  • Set y as the total amount paid.
  • $15.95 is the base fee paid no matter the mile, meaning the rent start at $15.95, not 0.

<em>Function: y = mx + b</em>

  • m = slope = amount paid for each mile driven = 77¢ = $0.77
  • b = y-intercept = amount paid when 0 miles driven = base fee = $15.95

<u>y = 0.77x + 15.95</u>

<em>He paid a total of $207.68, therefore y = 207.68:</em>

207.68 = 0.77x + 15.95

<em>Solve the equation for x:</em>

207.68 - 15.95 = 0.77x

191.73 = 0.77x

x = 249 miles driven

Which function describes this table of values?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table of function given, you would observe that if you subtract 2 from half of the x-variable values, you'd get the y-variable values.

For example, half of -8 = -4. If you add 2 to -4, you'd get: -4 + 2 = -2. Same applies to other x-values on the table.

Thus, an expression for the function represented by the table values can be written as,

y = \frac{1}{2}x +2

OLEGan [10]
Job A pays better


there are roughly 52 weeks in a year so multiply that by 40 to get the total hours worked in a year. = 2,080

2,080 hours worked per year multiplied by the hourly pay 9.95 = 20,696

Job A pays $20,696 per year

Job B only pays $17,500
