Answer:

At Zippy's Rentals : y =  20 + 2 5 x

At Smyth's Rentals:  y =  40 + 2 0 x

Step-by-step explanation:

At Zippy's Rentals:

The per day charge  = $25

The service charge  = $20

So, the charges for renting cars for x days  = x (Per day rental charge)

= x( $25)  = 25 x

Now, total charges (y)  = Service Charge + Rental fee for x days

or, y =  20 + 2 5 x

At Smyth's Rentals:

The per day charge  = $20

The service charge  = $40

So, the charges for renting cars for x days  = x (Per day rental charge)

= x( $20)  = 20 x

Now, total charges (y)  = Service Charge + Rental fee for x days

or, y =  40 + 2 0 x
