Question

The cost (y) to rent a car is $45 per day plus 22 cents per mile. Which is the constant value in this situation?

Answer 1

the constant value would be the $45 per day because that amount stays the same. but the 22 cents can change according to how many miles you drive

answer: $45

Answer 2

⇒ The constant value that has been given = $45 per day

Explanation:

The cost y to rent a car is given to be $45 per day

Also, The cost includes 22 percent of total miles driven

Now, Total miles driven is a variable as the miles to be driven is not fixed

So, as a result cost per mile is also not a constant

But, The cost to rent per day is fixed and that is given to be $45 per day.

So, in any conditions this is going to be fixed

⇒ The constant value that has been given = $45 per day
