Given that the van rental is PHP2000.00 per day and the gasoline that will be filled in the tank is 42 liters every week except on the third week where they only filled the van with 21 liters of gasoline that costs PHP45.00 per liter. How much will each of the 15 passengers (not including the driver) share in a month? (Consider that there are 4 weeks in a month and the passengers will travel 5 days a week.)

Answer 1

1. y = 50 + 7x + 80 + 60 = 190 + 7x, where x is unknown distance from your home.

2. $y = (2000×20 + 45×(42×3 + 21))/15 = 3,107.67.$
