Hans rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $12.00, and there was an additional charge of 8 cents for each mile driven. The total cost, C (in
dollars), for driving x miles is given by the following.
C= 12.00 +0.08x
What is the total rental cost if Hans drove 50 miles?

the total rental cost is $16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is c=12+.08x

Plugging in the variable of miles driven (x) we get c=12+.08(50)

after using PEMDAS: c=12+4

c=16

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
