Question

Ann is moving from Houston to McKinney and rented a truck from U-Move truck rentals. The cost of a one-day truck

rental is given by C(m) = 0.5m +50, where m is the number of miles driven. If Ann drives 280 miles, what is the cost
of the truck rental?
$195
$190
$218
$140

Answer 1

$190

Explanation:

Put 280 where m is, and do the arithmetic.

C(280) = 0.5·280 +50 = 140 +50 = 190

The cost of Ann's rental is $190.
