    Roberto owns a trucking company. He charges $50 hook up fee and $2 per mile. How much to tow your car: 1mile , 2miles , 10miles ?

    The Cost Function C(m) where m is the number of miles is written as:
    C(m) = 2m + 50

    The problem asks for C(1), C(2), and C(10)

    Calculate C(1)
    C(1) = 2(1) + 50
    C(1) = 2 + 50
    C(1) = 52

    Calculate C(2)
    C(2) = 2(2) + 50
    C(2) = 4 + 50
    C(2) = 54

    Calculate C(10)
    C(10) = 2(10) + 50
    C(10) = 20 + 50
    C(10) = 70
