Problem 1

Marcel rented a moving truck for the day. Marcel remembers that the rental truck company charges $40 per day, but has forgotten how many cents per mile he is charged. Marcel drives 46 miles and the final amount of the bill (before tax) is $63. What is the amount per mile the truck rental company charges? Write an equation in point-slope form that describes this situation. How much would it cost to rent this truck if Marcel drove 220 miles?
