Question

A truck company charged $40 for one day truck rental +0.85 per mile formulate a linear equation to model the cost c(d) Of one day rental driven d miles and determine the number of miles driven if the cost is $91

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have to:

d: Let the variable representing the number of miles traveled per day

Then, the cost will be given by the following equation:

`C (d) = 0.85d + 40`

If we have the cost
`C (d) = 91`, then the number of miles traveled is:

`91 = 0.85d + 40\\91-40 = 0.85d\\51 = 0.85d\\d = \frac {51} {0.85}\\d = 60`

Thus, the number of miles traveled is 60.

Answer:

`C (d) = 0.85d + 40`

For a
`C (d) = 91`, the number of miles traveled is 60
