Question

Cole wants to rent an electric scooter for one day. The charge is $18 plus $0.12 per mile. Cole wants to spend exactly $30. Write an equation to represent the situation

Answer 1

30 = 18 + 0.12x

Explanation:

The max he wants to spend is 30 so we set the equation equal to 30, and the initial charge is 18, and we know .12 is added per mile, so in this equation x, equals every additional mile.
