Claire borrows money from a bank. She has to pay a $50 fee for borrowing money and $0.55 every day until the money is paid back. Which function below represents this situation? f(x) = 50 + 0.55x f(x) = 50x + 0.55 f(x) = 55 + 0.50x f(x) = 55x + 0.50

Answer 1

In this situation, Claire has a fixed fee of $50 for borrowing money, plus an additional daily charge of $0.55 for each day until the money is paid back.

The appropriate function to represent this situation will have $50 as the initial fee plus $0.55 multiplied by the number of days (x).

Therefore, the correct function is:

f(x) = 50 + 0.55x
