Answer:

c=0.02(m)+30(5)

or

c= 150+0.02(m)

or

c=0.02(m)+150

or

c=30(5)+0.02(m)

Explanation:

This is because c, or cost is equal to 30 dollars a day as a base fee or 150 total for five days plus 0.02 per mile. So, if you multiple the mileage driven by 0.02 and add 150 for the 30$ per day at 5 days. This is your equation

These are just different ways you could write that since it is clear you have a multiple choice question
