Question

A medical delivery services charges $10 for a house call plus $0.50 per mile. The situation is represented by the equation c=0.5m+10 where m represents the number of miles the delivery is from the office and c represents the cost of the delivery. Calculate the total cost of a medical service delivery if the number of miles driven is 75.5 miles. Write your answer as an ordered pair (m,c).

Answer 1

$47.75

Explanation:

Where are given that the cost of medical service delivery is given by the expression

c=0.5m+10

m= the number of miles

when the number of miles is 75.5 mile we want to find the cost

put m=75.5 in the expression

c=0.5(75.5)+10

solving for c we have

c=37.75+10

c=47.75

Therefore the cost will be $47.75 for a distance of 75.5miles
