A rental car costs 50 dollars for 1 day plus an additional 25 cents per mile. What is the cost of renting a car for one day and driving it

Question

 I need help with this word problem step by step.

Answer 1

You have two variables, days (d) and miles (m).

 

The cost is the sum if the daily charge and the mileage charge.  So, $50 multiplied by the number of days and $0.25 multiplied by the number of miles.

 

C = $50 d + $0.25 m
