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

How much does the company charge per mile driven?

• $0.10

• $0.25

• $0.15

• $0.20

What does the variable 'C' represent in the equation?

• Number of miles

• Cost per mile

• Number of weeks

• Total cost in dollars

If you have the car for one week, what is the value of 'W' in the equation?

• 336

• 210

• 1

• 0

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

What operation is performed to isolate 'M' in the equation 126 = 0.15M?

• Add 0.15 to both sides

• Subtract 0.15 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 0.15

• Divide both sides by 0.15

How many miles can you drive in one week for $336?

• 126 miles

• 336 miles

• 840 miles

• 210 miles

What is the purpose of moving the decimal point in the division process?

• To decrease the divisor

• To simplify the equation

• To increase the dividend

• To make the divisor a whole number

What is the final step in verifying the solution to the equation?

• Multiply the result by 0.15

• Check the division calculation

• Add 210 to the result

• Subtract 0.15 from the result
