Question

A car rental company charges $29 per day to rent a car and $0.15 per mile driven.

a) Write a rule for the total bill B as a function of the number of miles m the car is driven.

b) What is the bill for a 2-day rental if you drove 205 miles?

Answer 1

A) C = 29*d + 0.15*m

B) C = $88.75

Explanation:

Givens

Let the cost of the rental = C

Let the most of the daily rental = d

Let the cost of the mileage driven = m

Equation

Cost = 29*d + 0.15*m

C = 29*d + 0.15m

Part B

d = 2

m = 205

C = ?

C = 29*2 + 205*0.15

C = 58 + 30.75

C = $88.75
