Question 66494: The amount of money Jim spends fishing is dependent upon the average temperature during any month. It varies according to the function: m=5t^(3/5)+45. If the average temperature last July was 87.45 degrees, how much did Jim spend fishing?
Thanks so much for the help in advance!

m=5t^(3/5)+45 [Equation]
87.45 degrees [Value of "t"]
.
m=5(87.45)^(3/5)+45 [Substitute 87.45 for "t" and solve for "m"]
m=$118.18
