Question

A LOT POINTS SO PLEASE HELP ME!!! The fare on a railroad is 40 cents for every mile of travel, plus an additional $15. Write an expression for the cost, in dollars, of a trip of n miles. Please tell me the correct answer and how you got it step by step!! Whoever does this will get the brainliest!!! NO FAKE ANSWERS!!

Answer 1

f(n) = $15+$.40n

f(n) means the function as it applies to n miles
$15 is your base fare
40 cents becomes $.40
You pay $.40 per mile so that is $.40n
And it is $15 plus the $.40 per mile so you have $15+$.40n
When you put that all together it is:
f(n)=$15+$.40n

Hope that helps.  Feel free to ask any questions.

Answer 2

set it up as .40n+15=c
