Answer 1

The cost of traveling 25km would be $3000.

You can travel 35 km for $4200.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

For 30km cost $3,600.

30 km = $3600

Divide both sides by 30.

`(30)/(30)\text{ km}=(3600)/(30)`

`1 \text{ km} =120` ....(1)

The cost of 1 km is $120.

Part (A) what would be the cost of traveling 25km

Multiply both the sides of equation 1 by 25.

25 km = 3000

Hence, the cost of traveling 25km would be $3000.

Part(B) How far could you travel for $4,200?

Divide 4200 by 120.

`(4200)/(120)=35`

Hence, you can travel 35 km for $4200.
