Question

Can someone explain please?

Answer 1

Answer:

- The equation that represent the cost C of renting a car and driving x miles is C = $39.11 + $0.50x

- $130 can travel 181.32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a rental company rents a luxury car at a daily rate of 39.34 ​$ plus​ $.50 per mile, that is

$0.50 is added to the initial $39.34 for every mile.

The equation that represent the cost C of renting a car and driving x miles is

C = $39.34 + $0.50x

Now, to determine how many miles 130$ can travel,

we will put C = $100, and determine x in the above equation

$130 = $39.34 + $0.50x

$130 - $39.34 = $0.50x

$90.66 = $0.50x

x = $90.66/$0.50

x = 181.32

Hence, $130 can travel 181.32 miles
