Problema Solution
The cost C (in dollars), of renting a moving van is given by the equation C=25+0.15x where x represents the number of miles the van is driven. Provide physical interpretations relevant to this example, for the numbers of 25 and 0.15 that occur in this equation.
Answer provided by our tutors
C = 25 + 0.15x as the cost of renting a moving van
some physical interpretations:
1. it does not matter how many days you rent the van, only the number of miles
2. the cost will be $25 even if you don't drive it out of the parking lot
3. for every mile you drive the van, you will be charged 15 cents
