Robert is moving and must rent a truck. In addition to an initial fee, the rental company charges a fee of $1.50 per mile driven. If Robert were to drive 4 miles, the total cost would be $26. Write an equation for C,C, in terms of m,m, representing the total cost of renting the truck if Robert were to drive mm miles.

Answer: C = $20 + $1.50(m)

Explanation:

Let the initial fee be represented as y.

Based on the question, the rental initial fee will be calculated as:

y + $1.50(4) = $26

y + $6 = $26

y = $26 - $6

Initial fee = $20

If Robert were to drive m miles, the cost will be:

C = $20 + $1.50(m)
