Question 5 • JPS-2025/26-Chatfield Summer School-Algebra I A-(CR)-M1-Alley

A rental car company charges $0.50 per mile and a flat rate of $30.00 for any type of sedan. If m represents the number of miles driven and C(m) represents the total cost for renting a sedan, what is the linear equation that represents a cost of $130?

Answer
A
30 = 0.50m + 130
B
30 = 130m + 0.50
C
130 = 0.50m + 30
D
130 = 30m + 0.50

Explanation

The total cost is the $30 flat rate plus $0.50 for each mile, so C(m) = 0.50m + 30. For a total cost of $130, set C(m) equal to 130: 130 = 0.50m + 30. This is choice C.
