Question

sam rent a car for one day .The charge is $12 plus $0.12 per mile sam want to spend exactly $30 write an equation to represent the situation

Answer 1

Answer:

Required equation of the situation Y = 0.12 X + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Fixed charge = $ 12

Charge per mile = $ 0.12

Money Sam got = $ 30

Let the total money spent be Y

Distance travelled be X

So, the money spent , Y = 0.12 X + 12

This is the required equation to represent the situation.

As, He has $ 30

So, according to the equation;

30 = 0.12 x + 12

so, 30 - 12 = 0.12 x

so, x = 18/0.12 = 150 miles.

So, he can rent car for 150 miles with $30.
