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
