Question

The cost (c), in dollars, charged by a car rental agency is calculated using the equation c = 12 +0.29m, where m represents the distancetraveled in miles.Calculate the distance traveled for the cost of $56. 37.

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance taveled is 153 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost function is given as:

c = 12 + 0.29m

Given cost of $56.37, the distance m is obtained from the following equation:

56.37 = 12 + 0.29m

0.29m = 56.37 - 12

0.29m = 44.37

m = 44.37/0.29

= 153
