Question

Warren is on vacation and needs to arrange transportation. A rental car costs 40 dollars per day plus a one-time cost of 14 dollars for insurance. Construct a function C(x) that gives the total cost of renting a car for x days. C(x)=________.

If Warren has budgeted 254 dollars for the rental, how many days can he afford?

Answer 1

C(x)=40x+14, 6 days

Explanation:

C(x)= payment per day*x + initial payment. the payment per day is $40 while the initial payment is $14. so C(x)=40x+14.

C(x)=254=40x+14, 40x=240, x=6
