Question

A Truck rental costs Arturo $89 for the weekend, plus $1.30 per mile it id driven. How much would Arturo have to pay for the rental if he drives 60 miles ?

Answer 1

the equation would be 60=1.30x+89. First, you would subtract 89 on both sides. this should get you an equation of -29=1.30x. Next, you would divide 1.30 on both sides. this would get you an answer of x=-22.3.

Answer 2

Answer: Arturo would have to pay $167

Explanation:

The Truck rental costs Arturo $89 for the weekend, plus $1.30 per mile for which it is driven. This means that if Arturo rents the truck for x miles, the total cost for the weekend would be

89 + 1.3x

Therefore, if Arturo rents the truck and he drives 60 miles, the total amount of money that he would pay is

89 + 1.3 × 60 = 89 + 78

= $167
