Question

The cost to rent a car is $25 plus an additional $0.15 for each mile the car is driven. Which of the following equations could be used to find the number of miles, m , a car was driven if the car had a bill of $71.80?

71.8 m + 25 = 0.15
25 m + 0.15 = 71.8
25 + 0.15 m = 71.8
0.15 m + 71.8 = 25

Answer 1

0.15m+25=c

replace c with 71.50

the third one

25+0.15m=71.8

Answer 2

the answer is c. 25 + 0.15m = 71.8

Explanation:

25 is the initial fee, or the down payment.

.15 represents the cost of a mile

m represents the number of miles driven

so, 25 + .15m = 71.8 (because $71.80 is the total bill)
