A rental car company charges $30 plus 35 cents per each mile driven. 1. Find the linear model that give the price, P, for m miles driven. 2. Determine the total cost of driving 375 miles. 3. How far can you drive on $74.40?
Added by Gabrielle C.
Step 1
The linear model that gives the price, P, for m miles driven is P = 0.35m + 30. This is because the company charges a flat rate of $30 plus 35 cents (or $0.35) for each mile driven. Show more…

A rental car company charges $0.50 per mile and a flat rate of $30.00 for any type of sedan. If m represents the number of miles driven and C(m) represents the total cost for renting a sedan, what is the linear equation that represents a cost of $130? 30 = 0.50m + 130 30 = 130m + 0.50 130 = 0.50m + 30 130 = 30m + 0.50
