Please help!
Sunset car rental charges $28 per dat to rent a car plus a one time $35 refueling charge. If y represents the total amount and x represents the number of days, write an equation to represent this situtation. Explain your answer.
Would it be y = 28x + 35 ?
Yes, it would!
Sorry day not dat
Thank you!
Yes, your equation y = 28x + 35 is correct. Let me explain how we arrived at this equation.
To understand the given situation, we need to consider two types of charges: the daily rental charge and the one-time refueling charge.
The daily rental charge is given as $28 per day, which means for each day, there is an additional cost of $28. So, if you want to rent the car for x number of days, the total cost for the rental will be 28 * x.
Additionally, there is a one-time refueling charge of $35. This is added to the total rental cost, regardless of the number of days.
To express the total cost (y) as a function of the number of days (x), we need to add the two charges together. The equation becomes:
y = 28x + 35
This equation represents the total amount (y) in terms of the number of days (x), where 28x is the cost of the daily rental and 35 is the one-time refueling charge.
