3. You rent a car for a flat fee of 100 dollars plus 19 cents per mile. (write an equation for the rental fee– with x equal to the number of miles driven. Then solve for the cost of driving 50 miles)

Answer 1

Hi Brooke!

Let's make 'r' (rental cost) = .19x + 100

The cost for 50 miles is .19(50) + 100

r = $9.50 + $100, which equals $109.50 as the rental fee.

Kind regards,
