Final answer:

Karen should be reimbursed C. $30.80 for traveling 22 miles 4 days a week at a rate of 35 cents per mile. The multiplication of 88 miles times $0.35 per mile gives the total weekly reimbursement.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the reimbursement for Karen's travel, we need to determine the total miles she travels in one week and then multiply that by the reimbursement rate per mile. Since Karen travels 22 miles 4 days a week, we calculate this as follows:

  1. First, determine the total miles traveled in one week:
    Total miles per week = 22 miles/day × 4 days/week = 88 miles/week.
  2. Second, calculate the reimbursement:
    Reimbursement = Total miles per week × Reimbursement rate/mile
    Reimbursement = 88 miles/week × $0.35/mile.
  3. Now, perform the multiplication:
    Reimbursement = $30.80.

Therefore, Karen should be reimbursed $30.80 for one week of travel. The correct option is C. $30.80.
