The cost of renting a car is given by the formula C= 50n +0.15d, where C is the cost in dollars, n is the number of days rental, and d is the distance driven in miles. How much would it cost to rent a car for a 15- day road trip, and drive 475 miles each day?

"Guessing" ??? Good grief, this is math.
$8 to rent a car for 15 days ?????
just plug in your data ....
C = 50(15) + .15(475) = .........
I am sure you have a calculator if you can't do it with pencil and paper.
To calculate the cost of renting a car for a 15-day road trip and driving 475 miles each day, we can use the given formula C = 50n + 0.15d.
First, substitute the given values into the formula:
n = 15 (number of days rental)
d = 475 (distance driven in miles per day)
Now, we can calculate the cost:
C = 50n + 0.15d
C = 50(15) + 0.15(475)
C = 750 + 71.25
C = 821.25
Therefore, it would cost $821.25 to rent a car for a 15-day road trip and drive 475 miles each day.
