X/5=3 multiply both sides by 5
x=15
It can be solved by factoring or taking the root of both sides.
x= 2 radical 3. and -2 radical 3
It should be about 16.67% (or 17%) of it.
C = Cost ($)
m = Miles driven {m≥100}
d = Rental days
---------------
Use this formula if m≥100:
C = 36 * d + 0.5 * (m - 100)
Use this formula if m<100:
C = 36 * d
