Answer with explanation:

Amount charged by Home Improvement Store for first day=$ 45

Amount charged per day after first day = $ 22

y= Total cost

x=Number of days Rented

Writing the above statement in terms of function

→y=1×$45 +(x-1)×$22

→→Total amount charged(y)=45+22x-22

→→→y=22x+23

is, the required function.
