(use the operation symbols in the math palette as needed. use whole numbers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify weekly base cost

From the table, the weekly fee for an oversized truck is $\$355$.

Step2: Identify per-mile cost

The per-mile charge is $\$0.70$ per mile driven, where $m$ = number of miles. This gives the cost $0.70m$.

Step3: Combine costs for total amount

Total cost = weekly base fee + per-mile cost.
<Expression>
$355 + 0.70m$
</Expression>

Answer:

$355 + 0.70m$
