A traveling salesman figures it costs 28

cents for every mile he drives his car. How much does it cost him (in dollars) a week to drive his car if he travels 315 miles a week?

I can use the equation .28(m) to solve this problem. If we plug in our numbers, we will get .28(315). This will give us 88.2. 88.2 is $88.2 dollars. Therefore, it costs him $88.2 dollars a week.
