Answer:
$62.50
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the equation that models the cost of renting a car, y, as a function of the number of miles traveled, x;
y = 55 + 0.15x
If an individual travels 50 mi during a given week, the cost in dollars is determined by substituting x with 50 in the cost function above;
y = 55 + 0.15(50)
y = 62.5
Answer:
$62.50
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given an equation [tex]y=55+0.15x[/tex], which represents cost of renting a car and x is the number of miles traveled.
To find the cost of renting a car to travel 50 miles, we will substitute [tex]x=50[/tex] in our given equation as:
[tex]y=55+0.15(50)[/tex]
[tex]y=55+7.50[/tex]
[tex]y=62.50[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of renting the car to travel for 50 miles would be $62.50.
