Question

To rent a uhal truck for the day, it cost 20 dollars per day plus 1 dollar for every mile driven Write an algebraic expression that represents the cost to rent the truck You rent the truck for 3 days and drive 1,00 miles. How much do you pay

Answer 1

The equation is R = 20d + m(1)

Where R is the rental amount in dollars, d is the number of days and m is the number of miles driven

R for 3 days and 1000 miles is $1,060

Explanation:

To properly represent the algebraic expression, we need to assign some variables.

Now, let the rental amount be R, the number of miles driven be m and the number of days rented for is d

Thus, we can say that:

R = 20d+ m(1)

Where R is rental amount, m is the number of miles driven and d is the number of days for which the truck was driven.

Now we are asked to calculate rental amount for 3 days and 1000 miles.

R = 20d + m(1)

R = 20(3) + 1000(1)

R = 60 + 1000

R = $1,060
