1) Malene rented a compact car for 10 days and drove it 620 miles for a total cost of 412$. Patrick rented a compact car at the same rental car company for 6 days and drove it 850 miles. His total cost was 295. Which system of equations could be used to determind d, the charge per day and m, the carge per mile assessed by the rental car company.
A) {d+m=412 and d+m=295
B) {10d+620=412 and 6d+850=295
C) {10d+620m=295 and 6d+850m=295
D) {10d+620m=412 and 6d+850m=295
Any help would mean so much to me. Thank you!
alan the answer is b
Thank you so much!
To determine the system of equations that could be used to determine the charge per day and charge per mile assessed by the rental car company, let's consider the given information.
We know that Malene rented a compact car for 10 days and drove it 620 miles for a total cost of $412. This can be represented as:
10d + 620m = 412, where d is the charge per day and m is the charge per mile.
Similarly, Patrick rented a compact car for 6 days and drove it 850 miles for a total cost of $295. This can be represented as:
6d + 850m = 295.
Therefore, the correct choice for the system of equations would be:
C) {10d + 620m = 412 and 6d + 850m = 295.
