A company rents riding equipment for a fixed amount plus a fee based on the number of days for which the equipment is rented. The table shows the total charges, y, in dollars, of renting riding equipment for x number of days:
Riding Equipment Rentals
Number of days
(x) Total Charges in dollars
(y)
0 6
1 16
2 26
What is the fixed amount charged? (1 point)
$6
$10
$16
$26
To find the fixed amount charged, we can look at the total charges when the number of days is 0. From the table, we can see that the total charges are $6 when the number of days is 0.
Therefore, the fixed amount charged is $6.
The answer is $6.
