Let +C%28m%29+ = cost of renting a truck for
one day as a function of miles driven, +m+
------------------------------------------
+C%28m%29+=+.5m+%2B+19.95+
---------------------------
+m+=+73+ mi
+C%2873%29+=+.5%2A73+%2B+19.95+
+C%2873%29+=+36.5+%2B+19.95+
+C%2873%29+=+56.45+
The rental cost/day is $56.45
