To rent a car you need to pay a flat fee plus $0.20 for each mile that you drive. Which equation could be used to solve for the price of the initial fee if the total cost of a rental was $60 when the car was driven 40 miles?(2 points)
Responses
60 + 0.2(40) = x
60 + 0.2(40) = x
0.2x + 40 = 60
0.2x + 40 = 60
0.2(60) + x = 40
0.2(60) + x = 40
x + 0.2(40) = 60
x + 0.2(40) = 60

To find the price of the initial fee (let's call it \( x \)), you can use the following equation based on the given information:
Total cost = Initial fee + (Cost per mile × Number of miles driven)
In this case:
Total cost = $60
Initial fee = \( x \)
Cost per mile = $0.20
Number of miles driven = 40
So, the equation would be:
\[ x + 0.2(40) = 60 \]
This means the correct response from your options is:
x + 0.2(40) = 60
