A car rental agency charges $250 per week plus $0.25 per mile to rent a car. How many miles can you travel in one week for 450$

800

To write an algebraic expression for the rental cost of a car for x days that is driven y miles, we need to consider the flat rate per day and the additional charge per mile driven.

The flat rate per day is $29, so the cost for x days would be 29x.

The additional charge per mile driven is $0.32, so the cost for y miles would be 0.32y.

Therefore, the total rental cost of a car for x days driven y miles can be expressed as:

29x + 0.32y
