In London, the charge of a tour bus consists of a fixed rental price plus a per kilometre rate, that depends on the distance of

the trip.
The per kilometre rate is $12/km. You decide to go on a 5 km trip, and it costs you $70.
a) What is the fixed rental cost? Show your work.
b) Determine the equation relating the cost, C, in dollars, and the distance, d, in km.
d) What is the cost of an 18 km trip?
e) What is the distance travelled if the total cost is $250?

Using a linear function, we have that:

a) The fixed cost is of $10.

b) The equation is: C = 10 + 12d.

c) The cost of an 18 km trip is $226.

d) The distance traveled is of 20 km.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For this problem, the slope is of m = 12. When d = 5, C(d) = 70, hence we find the fixed cost as follows:

C(d) = 12d + b

70 = 60 + b

b = 10.

Hence the equation is:

C(d) = 12d + 10.

For a trip of 18 km, d = 18, hence the cost is:

C(12) = 12 x 18 + 10 = $226.

When the cost is of $250, the distance is found as follows:

250 = 12d + 10

12d = 240

d = 240/12

d = 20 km.

52.5 Yards (yd).

7 + 7 = 14

14 + 14 = 28 ( 10 + 10 + 4 + 4)

14 + 28 = 42 (4 - 2 + 8 = 10 + 20 + 10)

42 + 10.5 = 52.5

⚠⚠ if you need to multiply this by itself (squaring is the proper name) then the answer is 2756.25 Yards.
