I put the solution on the paper
Answer:
Option D (r(t) = 3.50t +25
; r(8) = 53)
Step-by-step explanation:
The fixed cost to rent the kayak $25. This is the cost which remains fixed irrespective of the usage of the kayak. The variable cost of using the kayak is the cost which depends on the usage of the kayak. It is mentioned that the kayak is used for 4 hours and the company charges $3.5 for every half hour. The cost function is given by:
r(t) = 25 + 3.5t ; there r is the total cost of using the kayak and t is the number of half-hours the kayak is used.
4 hours means that there are 8 half-hours. Therefore, t=8. Put t=8 in r(t).
r(8) = 25 + 3.5*(8) = 25 + 28 = 53.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer!!!
D because 1.29 plus 2.75 is 4.04(the money that he used to make the case) and subtract that with $12 and you get $7.96 as the profit.
