Question

stan, a local delivery, is paid 3.50 per mile driven plus a daily amount of $75. on Monday, he is a signed a route that is 30 miles long. how much is he being paid for that day.

Answer 1

y = 3.5m + 75...where m is the miles and y is the total pay for the day

when he drives 30 miles.....so sub in 30 for m

y = 3.5(30) + 75
y = 105 + 75
y = 180 <== Stan is getting paid $ 180 for the day
