Answer:

The payment for driving 80 miles is $78

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematical model

Mathematical models are used in disciplines like natural sciences and engineering, among many others.

The data provided in the question allows building a model for the charges of the car rental, knowing there are two fees:

A fixed charge of $50

A variable charge or $0.35 per mile driven.

Part A

Using m as the number of miles driven for the day, the model for the payment for the car rental is:

P(m)=50+0.35m

Part B

Find the payment if the car is driven m=80 miles:

P(80)=50+0.35*80

P(80)=50+28=78

The payment for driving 80 miles is $78
