Choose the correct mathematical model for the following statement. The cost C (in dollars) to rent a truck is the sum of $30 and $0.58 a mile.
A) $C = 30 - 0.58 m$
B) $C = 58 + 30 m$
C) $C = 30 + 0.58 m$
D) $C = \frac { 30 } { 0.58 m }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement gives a constant cost of $30 plus a variable cost of $0.58 per mile. Therefore, the correct mathematical model is a sum of the constant and the variable costs, represented as C = 30 + 0.58m.

Choose the Correct Mathematical Model for the Following Statement C=30−0.58mC = 30 - 0.58 mC=30−0.58m

Choose the Correct Mathematical Model for the Following Statement $C = 30 - 0.58 m$
