Question

Andrew is moving from Manhattan to Brooklyn and rented a truck from U-Haul. The cost of one-day truck rental is given by

C(m)=0.50m+50
Where ​m​ is the number of miles driven. If Andrew drives 78 miles, what is the cost of the
truck rental?

Answer 1

Assuming that Andrew made the trip in one day, the cost of the truck rental is $89

Explanation:

You can find the answer essentially by plugging in 78 for every variable m: C(78)=0.50(78)+50

C(78)=39+50

C(78)=89

The cost of driving 78 miles in one day is $89.
