The cost of renting a car is $46/week plus $0.25/mile traveled during that week. An equation to represent the cost would be y=46+0.25x, where x is the number of miles traveled.



a. What is your cost if you travel 57 miles?



The cost is $ ____________.



b. If your cost was $65.00, how many miles were you charged for traveling?



You were charged for traveling ____________ miles.



c. Suppose you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental. What would be the maximum number of miles you could travel?



The maximum number of miles you could travel is ____________ miles.

Answer:

A. $60.25

B. 76 miles

C. 216 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

x is miles

y is total amount spent

For A, 57 miles is the x value. Plug that in to x.

y= 46 + .25(57)

y= 60.25

For B, the total is the y. So plug 65 in for y.

65 = 46 + .25x   Subtract 46 from both sides

19 = .25x             Divide by .25

76 = x

For C, the maximum you can spend is $100. Plug that in for y.

100 = 46 + .25x   Subtract 46 from both sides

54 = .25x             Divide by .25

216 = x

The answer for part a is $60.25, for part b the answer is 76 miles, and for part c the answer is 216 miles.

What is a function?

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

The equation to represent the cost would be y=46+0.25x

x is the number of miles.

a) What is your cost if you travel 57 miles?

Plug x = 57 in the above equation:

y = 46 + 0.25(57)

y = $60.25

b) If your cost was $65.00, how many miles were you charged for traveling?

Plug y = 65 in the equation:

65 = 46 + 0.25x

x = 76 miles

c) Suppose you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental. What would be the maximum number of miles you could travel?

Plug y = 100 in the equation:

100 = 46 + 0.25x

x = 216 miles

Thus, the answer for part a is $60.25, for part b the answer is 76 miles, and for part c the answer is 216 miles.
