A truck rental costs $24 per day plus $1 per m mile driven. The total cost, t, is the sum of miles driven plus the rental fee. Translate the words into an algebraic expression. What is the total cost if 135 miles are driven?(1 point)
t = 24 + 1m
t = 24 + 135
t = 159
To find the total cost, we need to add the rental fee to the cost per mile driven.
The rental fee is $24 per day, so it is a fixed cost regardless of the number of miles driven.
The cost per mile driven is $1 per mile.
Therefore, the algebraic expression for the total cost (t) can be written as:
t = (Cost per mile x Number of miles driven) + Rental fee
In this case, if 135 miles are driven, the expression for the total cost would be:
t = ($1 x 135) + $24
To calculate the total cost, we multiply the cost per mile ($1) by the number of miles driven (135), and then add the rental fee ($24).
Therefore, the total cost would be:
t = $135 + $24 = $159
The rental fee is $24 per day and the cost per mile driven is $1.
Let's define the number of miles driven as "m".
The rental fee is fixed regardless of the miles driven and is $24 per day.
The total cost, t, can be expressed as:
t = 24 + (1 * m)
Now, let's plug in the value of 135 miles driven:
t = 24 + (1 * 135)
t = 24 + 135
t = 159
Therefore, the total cost if 135 miles are driven is $159.
