1. Solve the problem by writing and solving a suitable system of equations.
Best Rentals charges a daily fee plus a mileage fee for renting its cars. Barney was charged $126 for 3 days and 300 miles, while Mary was charged $235 for 5 days and 600 miles. What does Best Rental charge per day and per mile?
A) $17 per day and 25 cents per mile
B) $16 per day and 26 cents per mile

D) $25 per day and 17 cents per mile
2. Write a cost function for the problem. Assume that the relationship is linear.
A moving firm charges a flat fee of $30 plus $25 per hour. Let C(x) be the cost in dollars of using the moving firm for x hours.
A) C(x) = 25x - 30
B) C(x) = 30x - 25
C) C(x) = 25x + 30
D) C(x) = 30x + 25
3. Solve the problem.
Midtown Delivery Service delivers packages which cost $1.80 per package to deliver. The fixed cost to run the delivery truck is $105 per day. If the company charges $8.80 per package, how many packages must be delivered daily to reach the equilibrium point?
A) 9 packages
B) 15 packages
C) 10 packages
D) 58 packages
4. Determine whether the given ordered set of numbers is a solution of the system of equations.
(6, -2)
x + y = -8
x - y = -4
Yes or no?
5. Determine whether the given ordered set of numbers is a solution of the system of equations.
(-3, 2)
x + y = -1
x - y = -5
No or Yes?
6. Solve the problem.
The bank\'s temperature display shows that it is 34° Celsius. What is the temperature in Fahrenheit?
A) 118.8°
B) 93.2°
C) 1.1°
D) 36.7°
Solution
1) x be the cost per mile
y be the cost per day
Barney:
He was charged $126 for 3 days and 300 miles
cost for 3 days = 3y , cost for 300 miles = 300x
==> Total cost = 300x + 3y = 126
==> 300x + 3y = 126 ---------- (1)
Mary:
She was charged $235 for 5 days and 600 miles
cost for 5 days = 5y , cost for600 miles = 600x
==> Total cost = 600x + 5y = 235
==> 600x + 5y = 235 ---------- (2)
Solving (1) and (2)
2*(1) - (2) ==>
600x + 6y - ( 600x + 5y) = 252 - 235
==> y = 17
substitute y = 17 in (1)
==> 300x + 3(17) = 126
==> 300x = 126 - 51
==> 300x = 75
==> x = 75/300
==> x = 0.25
Hence $17 per day and 25 cents per mile. (Option A)
2) Flat fee = $30
fee for 1 hour = $25
==> fee for x hours = 25x
Hence total fee C(x) = fee for x hours + Flat fee
==> total fee C(x) = 25x + 30 (Option C)
