The annual fixed costs of owning a small sedan are $4401 assuming the car is completely paid for. The cost to drive the car is approximately $0.14

per mile. Write a linear equation that relates the cost C and the number x of miles driven annually.

Solution

Fixed cost = $4401.

Let x= number of miles the car driven anually

Hence cost to drive x miles= $0.14x

Therefore total cost = fixed cost + cost to drive x miles

=> C(x) = 0.14x+ 4401
