Question

The equation y=4.75x+20 gives the cost y of towing a car if the car is towed x miles.

According to to the model, what is the best estimate of the cost for towing a car 22 miles.


A. $24.75
B $46.25
C $104.50
D $124.50

Answer 1

The answer to the question is D

Answer 2

Answer: $124.50

Explanation:

We are given that the equation y=4.75x+20 gives the cost y of towing a car if the car is towed x miles.

To find the best estimate of the cost for towing a car 22 miles., we substitute x= 22 in the above equation, we get

Cost of towing a car 22 miles=
`y=4.75(22)+20=`

`\rightarrow\ y=104.50+20=124.50`

Therefore, the best estimate of the cost for towing a car 22 miles = $124.50
