Answer:

F(d) = 30 + 0.50d

Explanation:

Given

Charges = P8.00 ---- first 4 km

Additional = P0.50

Required

Write a function to address the scenario.

Represent the whole distance covered with d.

First,we need to determine the total charges for the first four hours.

Charges = 8.00 * 4

Charges = 32.00

Next, we determine the charges for additional distance.

Charges = 0.50 * (d - 4)

d - 4 is the remaining distance after the first 4.

Charges = 0.50d - 2

The function is then written as;

F(d) = 32 + 0.50d - 2

F(d) = 32 - 2 + 0.50d

F(d) = 30 + 0.50d
