The cost to rent a motorcycle includes a one-time refundable fee and the cost per day the motorcycle is rented. The total cost to rent a motorcycle for one or more days can be represented by the function: C (n) = 85n + 100, where n represents the number of days the motorcycle is rented. What does the value 85 represent in this scenario?

1 answer

In the function \( C(n) = 85n + 100 \), where \( C(n) \) represents the total cost to rent a motorcycle for \( n \) days, the value \( 85 \) represents the cost per day for renting the motorcycle. This is the amount added to the total cost for each day the motorcycle is rented, while the value \( 100 \) is a one-time refundable fee.
