HELP PLS WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST


A car rental company's standard charge includes an initial fee plus an additional fee for each mile driven. The standard charge s (in dollars) is given by the function S= 0.40M + 18.95 , where M is the number of miles driven.

The company also offers an option to insure the car against damage. The insurance charge I (in dollars) is given by the function I = 0.25M + 5.70.


Let C be the total charge (in dollars) for a rental that includes insurance. Write an equation relating C to M . Simplify your answer as much as possible.

C= ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplified answer = C = $0.65m + $24.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the two initial charges together (from the insurance and the standard charge) and you get $24.65.  Then add the two charges together for each mile which is $0.65 per mile.  Therefore, the total charge on the car is $24.65 + 65 cents every mile driven.
