Question

The cost of renting a car is $45/wk plus $0.25/mi traveled during that week. An equation to represent the cost would be y 45 + 0.25x, where x is the number of miles traveled. If your cost were $63.75, how many miles were you charged for traveling?

Answer 1

75 miles

Explanation:

63.75 = 45 + 0.25x

solve for x

0.25x = 63.75 - 45 = 18.75

x = 18.75/0.25 = 75
