Ms. White will pay the weekly fee plus $30 if she drives 100 miles.

Let's denote the weekly fee as W and the cost per mile as 0.30 dollars.

The expression for the amount Ms. White will pay (P) can be written as:

P=W+0.30m

Now, if Ms. White drives 100 miles (m=100), you can evaluate the expression as following

P=W+0.30×100

This simplifies to:

P=W+30

So, Ms. White will pay the weekly fee plus $30 if she drives 100 miles.

Question

Ms. White wants to rent a small car for a week. It will cost the weekly fee plus $0.30 per mile driven. Let m = the number of miles Ms. White drives during the week. Write an expression that shows the amount she will pay for the car. Evaluate the expression you wrote to find out how much Ms. White will pay if she drives 100 miles.
