A truck rental costs $1 per m mile driven plus a $24 rental fee. The total cost, t, is the sum of miles driven plus the rental fee. Translate the words into an algebraic expression. What is the total cost if 135 miles are driven?(1 point)
The expression is (answer) The total cost is $(answer)
pls help!!
The algebraic expression for the total cost, t, is:
t = m + 24
To find the total cost when 135 miles are driven, we substitute m = 135 into the expression:
t = 135 + 24
Simplifying, the total cost is:
t = 159
So, the total cost when 135 miles are driven is $159.
To translate the given information into an algebraic expression, we can use the following variables:
Let's denote:
- "m" as the number of miles driven
- "$1" as the cost per mile driven
- "$24" as the rental fee
Since the total cost is the sum of the miles driven and the rental fee, the algebraic expression representing the total cost, "t," would be:
t = (m * $1) + $24
Now, let's substitute in the given information that 135 miles are driven into the expression:
t = (135 * $1) + $24
Simplifying the expression:
t = $135 + $24
The total cost, t, is equal to $159.
