A rental company rents a luxury car at a daily rate of ​$37.68 plus​ $.25 per mile. Vanessa is allotted ​$120 for car rental each day. Write an equation to represent the cost C of renting a car and driving x miles. How many miles can Vanessa travel on the ​$120​?

Respuesta :

0.25x + 37.68 = C

[The company charges $0.25 per mile (x) plus $37.68, and C is the total amount of money/cost]


Vanessa has $120 [total amount of money she is given per day],

Since this is the total amount of money she has/can pay with, you can plug in 120 for C

0.25x + 37.68 = 120     Subtract 37.68 on both sides

0.25x = 82.32        Divide 0.25 on both sides

x = 329.28


Vanessa can travel 329.28 miles on the $120
