Problem Solving - Graphing Functions

Strom earns $48 per day plus $1 for each car parked. His earnings can be modeled by the function f(x) = x + 48, where x is the number of cars. Making a table and graphing this function for x values of 25, 30, 35, and 40 cars shows Strom's total daily earnings. Rico's Plumbing charges $80 for a service call plus $65 per hour of labor, modeled by f(x) = 65x + 80, where x is hours. Making a table and graphing this function for x values of 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours shows the total charges. Courtney pays a $20 monthly fee plus $85 to join a
