Answer 1

$158.75

Explanation:

Given:

The Maple Car Rental Comany charges a flat fee of $45 plus 35 cents per mile

And we have to write a linear equation that gives the total cost in terms of numbers of miles driven then find the total cost if the renter drives 325 miles.

Solution:

Total cost = 35 cents of renter drives in miles + fixed charge of the car

Total cost =
`0.35*325 +45`

`= 113.75 + 45\\= 158.75`

Thus, total cost is $158.75, when the renter drives 325 miles.
