y = 25 + 0.15x is the equation for relating the cost y to the number of miles x that you drive the car
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "y" be the total cost of car rental
Let "x" be the number of miles you drive the car for more than 100 miles
<em><u>A car rental firm has the following charges for a certain type of car:</u></em>
$25 per day with 100 free miles included, $0.15 per mile for more than 100 miles
<em><u>Suppose you want to rent a car for one day, and you know you'll use it for more than 100 miles</u></em>
Therefore,
Car is rented for one day
You will use it for more than 100 miles
Therefore, equation is framed as:
Total cost = $ 25 + 0.15(number of hours)
Thus the equation for relating the cost y to the number of miles x that you drive the car
