A truck rental company charges $19.99 to rent a truck for the day, plus an additional $0.99 per mile driven. The linear function for the total cost is C(x) = 0.99x+19.99. Interpret C(55) in the
context of the problem.
O The cost when driving the truck 55 miles is $54.45.
O The cost when driving the truck 55 miles is $74.44.
O The truck costs $55 when it is driven 54.45 miles.
O The truck costs $55 when it is driven 74.44 miles.

Answer: The cost when driving the truck 55 miles is $74.44.

Step-by-step explanation: To interpret C(55) in the context of the problem, we substitute x=55 into the function C(x)=0.99x+19.99.

C(55)=0.99(55)+19.99=54.45+19.99=74.44
