Question

Bob and Carl each rented the same kind of moving truck from EZ Move. There was a flat rental fee plus a charge per mile that the truck was driven. Bob’s cost for his truck was $112.96 for 138 miles. Carl’s cost for his truck was $142.78 for 209 miles. Which equation can be used to represent the cost of the rental truck?

Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answer 1

ok so we can turn both of these into equations

Bob: 112.96 divided by 138=0.81855072463

so about 82 cents per mile

Carl: 142.78 divided by 209=0.68315789473

so about 68 cents per mile
