Question

The equation y = 0.25x + 50 gives the cost y of renting a car if the car is driven x miles

According to the model, what is the best estimate of the cost for renting a car if you plan to drive 250 miles?
50$
62.50$
112.50$
300$

Answer 1

at x=250miles
y=0.25(250)+50
y= 62.5+50
y= 112.5$

Answer 2

C. $112.50

y=0.25x+50

x = 250 miles

0.25*250=62.50

62.50+50= $112.50
