Question

A moving truck rental costs a flat fee of $75 and $2 per mile driven. If you drive a moving truck for 10 miles, how much is the rental for the moving truck?

Answer 1

95 dollars

Explanation:

75 + 2x = total price

x= 10

75 + 2(10) = 95

Answer 2

Answer: $95

Explanation:

Given: The flat fee for moving truck = $75

The cost per mile driven = $2

Let the truck drive x miles, then the total rental cost is given by:

`C(x)=75+2(x)`

When we substitute x=10 miles, we get the total rental cost as :

`C(10)=75+2(10)\\\\\Rightarrow C(10)=75+20\\\\\Rightarrow C(x)=\$95`

Hence, the rental cost for the moving truck = $95.
