A rental car company offers a rental package for a midsize car. The cost comprises a fixed $30 administrative fee for the cleaning and maintenance of the car plus a rental cost of $35 per day.

Using 𝑥 for the number of days and 𝑦 for the total cost in dollars, construct a function to model the relationship between the number of days and the total cost of renting a midsize car.

• 𝒚 = 35𝒙 + 30

• 𝒚 = 30𝒙 + 35

• 𝒚 = 35 + 30𝒙

• 𝒚 = 30 + 35𝒙

Recall that Lenore was investigating two wireless access plans. Her friend in Europe says that he uses a plan in which he pays a monthly fee of 𝟑𝟎 euro plus 𝟎. 𝟎𝟐 euro per minute of use. Let 𝒙 represent minutes of use and 𝒚 represent the total monthly cost in euro. Construct a linear function that determines the monthly cost based on minutes of use.

• 𝒚 = 𝟑𝟎 + 𝟎. 𝟎𝟐𝒙

• 𝒚 = 𝟑𝟎𝒙 + 𝟎. 𝟎𝟐

• 𝒚 = 𝟑𝟎 + 𝟎. 𝟎𝟐𝒙

• 𝒚 = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟐 + 𝟑𝟎𝒙
