A truck rental company rents a moving truck for one day by charging $22 plus $0.10 per mile.
Write a linear equcation that relates the cost C, in dollars, of renting the truck to the number x of miles driven.
C(x) = 22 + 0.1x where x is miles driven.
-----------------------------------------------
What is the cost of renting the truck is driven 190 miles? 406 miles?
C(190) = 22 + 0.1*190 = 22 + 19 = $41
------
C(406) = 22 + 0.1*406 = 22+40.6 = $62.60
