Question

A public storage company charges new customers an initial fee of $35.00. Each month of storage costs $18.75. The company uses the formula T = 35.00 + 18.75m to calculate the total charges, where T is the total charges, and m is the number of months of storage. How many months of storage would cost a new customer $260.00?

Answer 1

12 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function that models the total chacrge of a company as T = 35.00 + 18.75m where;

T is the total charges,

m is the number of months of storage

Given

T = $260.00

we are to find the value of m

Substitute

260 = 35 + 18.75m

18.75m = 260 - 35

18.75m = 225

m = 225/18.75

m = 12

Hence it will take 12 months to cost a new custimer $260.00
