PLEASE HELP IMMEDIATELY

Answer 1

Answer:

a)   C(d) = 37.95 + 0.62d

b)  C(74) = 37.95 + 0.62(74)

83.8 dollars

c) 8181 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The company charges a fee of 37.95 just for the rent and then 0.62 dollars per mile.

So if one person travels one mile they will pay:

37.95 + 0.62

Two miles: 37.95 + 0.62 (2)

Three miles: 37.95 + 0.62 (3)

d miles: 37.95 + 0.62(d)

Thus, the function C(d) that gives the total cost of renting the truck for one day if you drive d miles would be C(d) = 37.95 + 0.62d

Now, if we drive 74 miles, the function that gives us the cost would be:

C(74) = 37.95 + 0.62(74) = 37.95 + 45.88 = 83.83 = 83.8 dollars

Now, if we have 5110 dollars on our budget, we would have to substitute this in our function to know how many miles we can drive with that amount:

$C(d)= 37.95+0.62d=5110\\37.95+0.62d=5110\\0.62d=5110-37.95\\0.62d=5072.05\\d=5072.05/ 0.62 \\d=8180.7$

Thus, we could drive 8181 miles
