A) 4 + 2.8 = 60 • d

B) 4 + 2.8 • d = 60

C) (4 + 2.8)d = 60

D) 4 • d + 2.8 = 60

Answer 1

Answer: B)
`4+2.80d=60`

Explanation:

Let d represents the distance in miles from her house to airport.

Given: The flat fee paid by her = $4

The fee paid by her per mile= $2.80

The expression for the final fare will be

`2.80d+4`

Since, The final fare came = $60

Then the equation gives the correct distance (d) in miles is given by :-

`4+2.80d=60`

Answer 2

B.

The flat fees is 4, the per mile fees is 2.8 and the sum is 60.
