Question

Write a function rule for finding the amount of daily pay, p, in the following situation: A bus driver gets paid $100 each day plus $0.20 per kilometer, k.

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation section

Explanation:

We have to use the function with a fixed cost and a variable cost. Here, the fixed cost is $100, as the bus driver will receive the money daily for driving. $0.20 per kilometer is the variable expense, as increasing the mileage will help to earn more. To draw this in a function, we can get -

Amount of daily pay, P = Fixed cost (f) + Variable cost (v)

p = $200 + 0.20 × k
