We know that renting the car will cost $30, regardless of whether you drive it any where or not
So far
C = $30
On the end of this equation, we want to be able to add another value, that can vary depending on the quantity of M (number of miles)
The second value is $0.05 multiplied by how many miles are travelled
Also expressed as $0.05M
Finally, just fix the two parts together
C = $30 + $0.05M
27.5 Gallons of gas was used by two cars.
Hope this help if not i'm sorry.
354/11 = 32.18
therefore the car approximately travels 32.18 miles per gallon of fuel
