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

The Rental fee equals one hundred dollars plus nineteen cents times the number of miles driven.

Rental fee=100+0.19x

When x=50,

Rental fee=100+(50×0.19)=100+9.50=$109.50
