Question

You are the manager of a rental car company. A customer, Sandy Furrow, has asked you for an estimate of charges for a nine day rental of an SUV. She expects to drive 670 miles. If the company charges $52.50 per day plus 19 1 2 cents per mile for this category of vehicle, what would be the total rental charge (in $) for Sandy's trip?

Answer 1

12,782.5, 722.5, 1,392.5, 8,092.5

Explanation:

The expression can be converted into function form at f(x) = 52.50 + yx, where y is the charge per mile and x is the number of miles. You gave me 3 values, and I'm assuming the last two could be 12, so here are the four possibilities.
y = 19: 52.50 + (670)(19) = 12,782.5

y = 1: 52.50 + (670)(1) = 722.5

y = 2: 52.50 + (670)(2) = 1,392.5

y = 12: 52.50 + (670)(12) = 8,092.5
