Question

Carla needs to rent storage space for some of her belongings. She paid a one-time original storage fee of $25.00, and now pays $36.00 each month (m). Which answer choice shows an expression that represents the total amount Carla has paid after a certain number of months (m)?

Answer 1

TC = 36t + 25

Explanation:

The amount paid by Carla as a storage fee or fixed cost = $25

Monthly rent or variable cost = $36

Let the number of months = t

Now we have to find the expression that represents the total cost. Below is the formula to find the expression.

Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

Total cost = 36t + 25

TC = 36t + 25
