Question

A truck company charged $40 for one day truck rental +0.85 per mile formulate a linear equation to model the cost c(d) Of one day rental driven d miles and determine the number of miles driven if the cost is $91

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have to:

d: Let the variable representing the number of miles traveled per day

Then, the cost will be given by the following equation:

$C (d) = 0.85d + 40$

If we have the cost $C (d) = 91$, then the number of miles traveled is:

$91 = 0.85d + 40\\91-40 = 0.85d\\51 = 0.85d\\d = \frac {51} {0.85}\\d = 60$

Thus, the number of miles traveled is 60.

Answer:

$C (d) = 0.85d + 40$

For a $C (d) = 91$, the number of miles traveled is 60
