A furniture store delivers for $40 plus $0.75 for every mile they have to travel from the store. Which function represents the cost for delivery, c(m), given the distance from the store, m, in miles, and how much does delivery cost for someone who lives 60 miles from the store? Use the formula c(m) = 40 + 0.75m to solve this equation.
The cost for delivery is represented by the function c(m) = 40 + 0.75m.
If someone lives 60 miles from the store, we can plug in m = 60 into the formula:
c(60) = 40 + 0.75(60)
c(60) = 40 + 45
c(60) = 85
Therefore, the delivery cost for someone who lives 60 miles from the store is $85.
