Question

A rental car company charges $30 a day plus $0.05 a mile. Which expression could be used to find the cost of renting a car for m miles?
A. 30.05m
B. 30m+0.05m
C. 30+0.05m
D. 30m+0.05

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the company earns $0.05 for every mile, we would multiply m by 0.05. We also add it with 30 since it is a base charge. This makes it C

It can't be A or B since that would mean the company earns $30.05 for every mile.

It can't be D since that would mean the company earns $30 for every mile with a base charge of $0.05.
