Answer:

All positive rational numbers greater than 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the delivery cost is fixed per trip, the cost incurred can be represented by the equation

y(x)=8x+50 so in case Tess wants only 1 tone, the cost will be y(x)=8(1)+50=58

Therefore, it's proper to conclude that all numbers in the possible range are positive rational numbers greater than 50
