Eloise needs to rent a car. She goes to the rental agency and finds out that she will have to pay a fee of $35 and then an additional $0.10 for every mile that she drives. What expression represents the total cost of renting a car?
A) .10m + 35
B) 35m + .10
C) 35.10m
D) 35.10 **
Why did she rent a car if she were only going to drive 1 mile?
Try again.
nvm its A
Yes, A.
To determine the expression that represents the total cost of renting a car, we need to consider the fixed fee of $35 and the additional cost per mile of $0.10.
The fixed fee of $35 is a one-time payment, so it is not affected by the number of miles driven. We can represent this fixed fee as a constant term.
The additional cost per mile is calculated by multiplying the number of miles driven (m) by the cost per mile ($0.10). This represents a variable term since it depends on the number of miles driven.
To calculate the total cost, we need to add the fixed fee and the variable cost. The expression that represents this is:
A) .10m + 35
Therefore, option A) represents the correct expression for the total cost of renting a car.
