Question

Ms. White wants to rent a small car for a week. It will cost the weekly fee plus $0.30 per mile driven.

Answer 1

Cost to rent the car = Weekly Fee + (Miles Driven)(0.3)

Cost = $(X+ 0.3 Y)

Explanation:

To find out the cost, we need to simply understand the statement.

As we are not given exact values, we will assign the unknowns a variable:

Let,

Weekly Fee = X

Miles Driven = Y

Total Cost Per Week = ( X + 0.3 Y ) Dollars

An Example:

If the weekly fee is $100 and miles driven are 20 miles, the cost will be :

Cost = 100+ (0.3 x 20)

Cost = 100+ 6

Cost = $106
