The number 0.25 represents $0.25 per mile and 30 would represent a $30 flat rate (mandatory payment).

Explanation:

Car rental companies usual charge a certain amount per mile the renter drives the car including a flat rate. So here is what all the equations terms mean ...

• C (m) = total cost to rent a car

•.25 = how many each mile costs

• m = how many miles the renter will drive or has driven

• + = add together

• 30 = flat rate to rent a car
