Question

1. A judge is sentencing a man for speeding. He plans to charge him $30 for every mile over the speed limit that he was driving. If the speed limit was 35 and the man was driving 52.7 miles per hour, what will be the amount he owes for the ticket? Show your work and/or explain your answer.​

Answer 1

The amount of the ticket will be $531.

Explanation:

If the driver is charged $30 for every mile above the speed limit, than :
diff = 52.7 - 35

= 17.7 miles
which leads to say that he owes 17.7 * $30 = $531
