Answer

$2.75$ dollars

Work Step by Step

$y=\lfloor x\rfloor$ is greatest integer function that considers input values as greatest integer less than or equal to $x$. Since $x=5.5$, input value becomes $5$ (greatest integer below $5.5$). Hence, the cost will be: $$y=0.40\cdot \lfloor 5.5\rfloor+0.75$$ $$y=0.40\cdot 5+0.75=2.75$$
