PART A: Maria rented a coat at $285 for 3 days. If she rents the same coat for 6 days, she has to pay a total rent of $510. Writ
e an equation in standard form to represent the total rent (y) that Maria has to pay for renting the coat for x days. PART B: Write the equation obtained in Part A using function notation. PART C: Describe the steps to graph the equation obtained above on the coordinate axes. Mention the labels on the axes and the interval
Using $285 for 3 days and $510 for 6 days, we get 285/3 = 95 510/6 = 85 which seem to be different rates per day, but we need to look at it differently.
For 6 days, you pay $510. For 3 days you pay $285. The difference between those two rentals is 3 days and $510 - $285 = $225. The rental amount due to teh daily rate is $225. $225/3 = $75.
For each day you rent, you must pay $75. The rest of the payment is a one-time fee for the rental.
3 days due to daily rental fee: 3 * 75 = 225 Problem tells us that for 3 days, it's $285. $285 - $225 = $60 One-time fee = $60
