Ok so, we have the fact that 1.20 per mile Lets represent m as each additional mile so we have 1.20m which is That much per additional mile So For the first 5 functions we have f(1) = 20 f(2) = 20 f(3) = 20 f(4) = 20 f(5) = 20 Only for the first 5 miles though, since it is a flat fee. So for the additional miles we go back to what I said in the first Paragraph. 1.20m That is for additional miles, so that will be added to 20 So if you travel more than 5 miles the function looks like this: f(x) = 20 + 1.20m So the first 5 miles it is: f(x) = 20 For 7 mles the function would look like: f(7) = 20 + 1.20(2) It is a 2 because it is the additional mile, which is 2  hope this helps

Answer:

1: C(n) = 2.50 + 16n

2: $66.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Each ticket costs $16 per person. If tickets for n persons were purchased, the total cost would be 16n.

There is also a one-time service fee of $2.50 that must be paid. Thus, for n tickets the total cost is

C(n) = 2.50 + 16n

Part 2

For n = 4, the expression evaluates to

C(4) = 2.50 + 16 (4) = $66.50
