Question

Kylie's moving and must rent a truck. There is an initial charge of $50 for the rental plus a fee of $30 per mile driven. Make a table of values and then write an equation for C in terms of M representing the total cost of renting the truck if Kylie were to drive miles

Answer 1

Number of driven miles 0 1 2 3

Total cost $50 $80 $110 $140

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mile drive = m

Let the total cost = C

The initial charge of the rental is $50

Additional fee is $30 per mile

The total cost can be expressed mathematically,

C = 50 + 30 x number of miles

C = 50 + 30m

For 0 mile, the total cost can be calculated as

C = 50 + 30(0)

C = $50

For m = 1

C = 50 + 30m

C = 50 + 30(1)

C = 50 + 30

C = $80

Therefore, when m = 1, C = $80

When m = 2

C = 50 + 30m

C = 50 + 30(2)

C = 50 + 60

C = $110

Therefore, When m = 2, C = $110

When m = 3

C = 50 + 30m

C = 50 + 30(3)

C = 50 + 90

C = $140

Therefore, when m= 3, C = $140
