Calculator allowed

Let \(C\) represent total cost in $, and let \(d\) represent hire time in days. One unit of \(d\) represents 1 day

A trailer hire booking has an initial charge of $155. The charge then increases by $20 for each day

Only whole numbers of days are permitted

The linear model is claimed for \(0 \le d \le 16\)

(a)2 marks

Identify the value at the start and the rate per unit, including its sign

\[C=a+bd\]
(b)1 mark

Use the model to find the total cost after 7 days
