The function c(m) = 100 + 0.30m represents the cost c (in dollars) of renting a car after driving m miles. What would the cost be to rent the car and drive 100 miles?

Question

a.103 dollars

b.130 dollars

c.400 dollars

d.70 dollars

Answer 1

b. 130 dollars

To find the cost of renting the car and driving 100 miles, we can substitute m = 100 into the function:

c(100) = 100 + 0.30(100)
c(100) = 100 + 30
c(100) = 130

Therefore, the cost would be 130 dollars.
