Question

Joshua rented a movie for $4.49 from Cinema Rentals. If the movie is not returned on the due date, Cinema Rentals charges an additional $2.25 a day until the movie is returned. If Joshua returns the movie x days after its due date, which of the following functions represents the total cost, R(x), he paid for the movie rental?

OA. R(x) = $6.74x
OB. R(x) = $4.49x + $2.25
OC. R(x) = $2.25x
OD. R(x) = $2.25x + $4.49

Answer 1

The total cost Joshua paid for the movie rental, represented by the function R(x), is $2.25x + $4.49, where x is the number of days the movie is returned late.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joshua rented a movie for $4.49 from Cinema Rentals, with an additional late fee of $2.25 per day if not returned by the due date. If Joshua returns the movie x days after its due date, the total cost, R(x), he paid for the movie rental includes both the original rental cost and the late fees. The proper function to represent this would be R(x) = $2.25x + $4.49, where $4.49 is the initial cost of the rental and $2.25x is the accumulated late fee after x days.
