Question

If you rent a car for one day and drive it for 100 miles, the cost is $40.00. If you drive it 220 miles, the cost is $46.00.

Use the linear function to find out how much you will pay to rent the car for one day if you drive it 300 miles.

Answer 1

Now, if x = 300 miles, then

y= 1/20*300 + 35

y = 15 + 35

y = 50, therefore it would cost $50.00 to drive the rental car 300 miles.
