f(x) = 50 + 0.55x
f(x) = 50x + 0.55
f(x) = 55 + 0.50x
f(x) = 55x + 0.50

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Answer: f(x) = 50 + 0.55x

Explanation: The $50 is a one-time fee (constant term) and $0.55 is charged each day (rate multiplied by number of days x), so total cost = 50 + 0.55x. The other choices either swap units or multiply the flat fee by x.
