Question

Amy will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $38 and costs an additional $0.12 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $51 and costs an additional $0.08 per mile driven.

Answer 1

The first plan would be cheaper

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say she drives 12 miles. Write an equation y=0.12x+38 then substitute the x with 12:

y=0.12(12)+38

y=1.44+38

y=39.44

Now you have to write a new equation for the second plan y=0.08x+51 and substitute x with 12:

y=0.08(12)+51

y=.96+51

y=51.96
