A delivery company pays its drivers a fixed fee for each delivery made that day. The company deducts a daily fee for the use of the company's delivery truck. The drivers net pay in dollars, p, for one day is given by the equation p = 11d − 55, where d is the number of delivers made in one day. What does the number 55 most likely represent?
