COLLEGE MATH PER MILE

Question

A car rents for ​$240 per week plus ​$0.75 per mile. Find the rental cost for a​ two-week trip of 500 miles for a group of three people.

Answer 1

C(w,m) = 240w + .75m

C(2, 500) = 240(2) + .75(500)

= 480 + 375

Cost= $855 for 2 weeks & 500 miles

per person cost is 855/3 = $265
