Question

Yolanda rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $10.75, and there was an additional charge of 6 cents for each mile driven. The total cost, C (in dollars), for driving x miles is given by the following.

Answer 1

The total cost, C (in dollars), for driving x miles is given by:

C = 0.06x + 10.75

where x is the number of miles driven.

To find the total cost for driving a certain number of miles, simply substitute that value for x in the equation and solve for C.
