Sam will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $53 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven. The second plan has an initial fee of $40 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up two equations:

The first plan has an initial fee of $53 and costs an additional $0.14 per mile driven.

The First Plan:

y =.14x + 53

Where y is the total cost and x is the number of miles driven

The second plan has an initial fee of $40 and costs an additional $0.16 per mile driven.

The Second Plan:

y =.16x + 40

Where y is the total cost and x is the number of miles driven
