A car rental company charges a flat fee of $22.50 and an hourly charge of $14.50.
This means that cost is a function of the hours the car is rented plus the flat fee.
Find the cost if the car is rented for 6.5 hours
.
Cost function:
C(h) = 14.50h + 22.50
.
For 6.5 hours:
C(h) = 14.50h + 22.50
C(6.5) = 14.50(6.5) + 22.50
C(6.5) = 94.25 + 22.50
C(6.5) = $116.75
