Question

Sylvester plans to rent a car to tour the West Coast. The cost of the rental is $53 per day. The cost of the deposit is $99 for as long as Sylvester needs the car. Write a linear equation that represents this scenario.

Answer 1

Amount Due when he returns car = $53 x Days - Deposit

Answer 2

C = 53D + 99

Explanation:

The cost (C) is equal to $53 per day (53 multiplied by the number of days, D) plus the fixed deposit (+ 99)

Expressed as a linear equation below

C = 53D + 99
