Question

the toll on a highway us based on the miles driven. If the toll in a 15-mile stretch on a highway is $0.60. find the cost to drive a 80-mile stretch

Answer 1

Answer: $3.20

Explanation:

We have

15-mile stretch = $0.60

80-mile stretch = x

Cross Multiply

15 × x = 80 × $0.60

x = 80 × $0.60/15

x = $3.20

Hence, the cost to drive an 80-mile stretch is $3.20
