    Let a be the total passenger cars

    Let b be the total other vehicles

    Let r be the toll revenue

    Given that passenger rate is $2 and other vehicles rate is $4.5, the toll revenue can be calculated using the linear function as follows:

    r = 2a + 4.5b

    Given that 80% of all cars are passenger cars and the total vehicles is 40

    a = 0.8 x 40 = 32

    b = 0.2 x 40 = 8

    r = 2a + 4.5b = (2 x 32) + (4.5 x 8) = 64 + 36 = 100

    The expected toll revenue is $100
