There is a daily fee for renting a moving truck, plus a charge of $.50 per mile driven. it cost 64 to rent a truck on a day when it is driven 48 miles. write the point slope form of an equation to find the total charge y for a one day rental with x miles and driven.

The charge for travelling x miles is $1.833 x  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

There is a daily fee for renting a moving truck, plus a charge of $0.50 per mile driven.

Total cost for rent the truck = $64

Total distance cover by truck = 48 miles

∵ For travelling 48 miles, total cost = $64 + $0.50 per miles

i,e For travelling 48 miles, total cost = $64 + $0.50 × 48 miles

Or, For travelling 48 miles, total cost = $64 + $24

∴For travelling 48 miles, total cost = $88

Let the cost for travelling x miles = $y

∵ For travelling 48 miles, total cost = $88

So, For travelling 1 mile, total cost =

∴ For travelling x miles, total cost = × x

Or, y =   × x

Or, y = 1.833 × x

So, The cost for travelling x miles = y = $1.833 x

Hence, The charge for travelling x miles is $1.833 x  . Answer

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
