Question

Sammy rents a truck from U-Haul. They charge $40 for the rental plus $0.25 for every mile driven. Which function below represents the cost, y, that Sammy would have to pay to drive x miles?

Answer 1

y = 0.25x + 40

Explanation:

Hi,

They charge $40 for rental and $0.25 for every mile driven.

y = mx + b

y = 0.25x + 40

The 0.25x is the cost per x number of miles and the + 40 is the ONE TIME payment of $40.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Y=40 + .25x

Explanation:

Y=40+.25x where $40 is a fixed fee per rental plus .25x represents .25 for every mile driven

so the fee is at least $40 and then add .25 for every mile driven
