Car Rental Cost and Equations

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the number of miles you can drive a rental car for a given budget. It starts by introducing the car rental pricing model, which includes a weekly cost and a mileage cost. The tutorial then sets up an equation to model the total cost, identifies the variables involved, and substitutes given values to solve for the number of miles. The process involves basic arithmetic operations and division to find the solution, which is 840 miles.

What is the weekly charge for renting a car from the company?

• $210

• $336

• $150

• $0.15 per mile

What is the first step in solving the equation 336 = 210 x 1 + 0.15M?

• Divide both sides by 0.15

• Multiply both sides by 0.15

• Subtract 210 from both sides

• Add 210 to both sides

After subtracting 210 from both sides, what is the resulting equation?

• 126 = M

• 210 = 0.15M

• 336 = 0.15M

• 126 = 0.15M
