Question

A rental car company charges $50 each day for a rental vehicle and a $100 flat fee for rental insurance. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the total cost, c, and the number of days a vehicle is rented, d. A c=50d B, C=100d + 50 C, c=50d +100 D, c=150d

Answer 1

Let

c --------> the total cost

d -----> the number of days

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem

The slope or unit rate is equal to $50 per day

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to $100

so

substitute the given values

c=50d+100

answer option C
