Answer:
[tex]Total\ Rent = 49 + 5m[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Rent per day = $49
Addition = 5 cents per mile
Required
Determine the rent for a day and m miles
First, we need to generate a formula from the given parameters;
Let d represent number of days and m represent additional miles;
[tex]Total\ Rent = 49 * d + 5 * m[/tex]
[tex]Total\ Rent = 49 d + 5 m[/tex]
Solving for the rent for a day and m miles
We have that: d = 1 and m = m
Substitute these in the formula above
[tex]Total\ Rent = 49 * 1 + 5 * m[/tex]
[tex]Total\ Rent = 49 + 5m[/tex]
Hence, the total rent is
[tex]Total\ Rent = 49 + 5m[/tex]
