Question

A truck rental company rents a moving truck for one day by charging $21 plus $0.05 per mile. Write a linear equation that relates the cost C, in dollars, of renting the truck to the number x of miles driven. What is the cost of renting the truck if the truck is driven 132 miles? 413 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

$C = 0.05x + 21$

132 miles = $27.6

413 miles = $41.65

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent the cost with $C = 0.05x + 21$. C being the cost, x being the miles.

0.05(132)+21 = $27.6

0.05(413)+21 = $41.65
