Question

The cost of renting a car is $55/wk plus $0.15/mi traveled during that week. An equation to represent the cost would be y = 55 + 0.15x, where x is the number of miles traveled. If your cost was $64.75, how many miles were you charged for traveling?

Answer 1

65 miles

Explanation:

y=55+0.15x

64.75=55+0.15x

9.75=0.15x

x=9.75/0.15

x=65 miles
