Hello,

it seems that the cost function is as follows: C=rd+f, where C=total cost, r=daily rate, d=number of days, f=fixed rate

Now you can set up two equations with two of the value pairs. I take the first two: (2/105),(4/195)

105=r2+f

195=r4+f

Now you can calculate the value of r and f. Start by subtracting the first equation from the second equation.

Advice: Make a check with the value pair 3 or 4.

greetings,

check this pivot and pls tell me if you find it correct

195−105=r(4)+f−(r(2)+f)
2r=90
r=45

the daily rate is 45 dollars

an equation that could represent this would be
C=45(d)+f
Cost is equal to the daily rate times the number of days of the rental plus the fixed rate.

That's right. Now you can use 105=r2+f to determine the value of f.

or this way:

C(x)=rx+f

C(2)=105
C(4)=195

2r+f=105
f=105-2r

4r+f=195
4r+(105-2r)=195
2r=90
r=45
f=15

C(x)=45x+15
