Question

Johanna rented a car. Rental costs were $29.00 per day plus $0.49 for each mile driven. If she kept the car for 1 day and drove 50 miles, how much did she owe?

Answer 1

$53.50

Explanation:

29(t) + 0.49(d) =$53.50

Answer 2

She owes $53.50

Explanation:

First we need to set up an equation:

29(t) + 0.49(d) = o

where t = time, d = distance, and o = money owed

She drove for 1 day and 50 miles so we can plug in those numbers:

29(1) + 0.49(50) = o

Now we can mutiply:

29 + 24.5 = o

Then add:

53.5 = o

Answer:

She owes $53.50
