Question

Step by step If C(m)=0.50m + 30 represents the cost of renting a car, how many miles were driven if the cost is $130

Answer 1

200 miles were driven

Explanation:

We know that
`C (m) = 0.50m + 30` represents the cost of renting a car

Where m represents the number of miles driven

If we know that the cost was $ 130 then we can equal C(m) to 130 and solve for m.

`C(m) =0.50m + 30=130`

`0.50m + 30=130`

`0.50m=130-30`

`0.50m=100`

`m=(100)/(0.50)`

`m=200\ miles`
