A car rental company charges a flat daily fee plus a fixed cost per mile driven.one day Becky drives 50 miles and is charged 145.The next day she drives 90 miles and is charged 193.What is the cost per mile?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost per mile be x, and daily fee f.

Then we have equations:

  • 50x + f = 145
  • 90x + f = 193

Subtract the first equation from the second one:

  • 90x - 50x  + f - f = 193 -145
  • 40x = 48
  • x= 48/40
  • x= 1.2

Answer: the cost per mile is $1.2
