Answer:

32$ < x < 48$

Explanation:

Erika estimates that her destination is between 200 and 300 miles away.

When we divide 200 with 25 miles we get 200/25 = 8 gallons

When we divide 300 with 25 miles we get 300/25 = 12 gallons

When we multiply 8 · 4 = 32$ we get amount of money for destination

200 miles x = 32$

When we multiply 12 · 4 = 48$ we get amount of money for destination

300 miles x = 32$

Since that the estimate destination is between 200 miles and 300 miles

then the best estimate for the amount of money is between

32$ < x < 48$

God with you!!!
