Question

Della is renting a car for the day. The rental

fee (y) is $30 plus $0.25 per mile (m).
Which of the following equations represents
this cost?
(A) y = 0.30m + 25
(B) y = 30m + 0.25
(C) y = 0.25m + 30
(D) y = m(0.25 +30)

Answer 1

Answer: C) y = 0.25m + 30

Explanation:

Since the rental fee (y) of the car is $30 plus $0.25 per mile (m), then the cost will be:

= $30 + $0.25(m)

= 30 + 0.25m

For example, to calculate the cost of someone who rented the car and used 20 miles will be:

= 30 + 0.25m

= 30 + 0.25(20)

= 35
