You decide to rent a limo for prom. The rate is $200 plus $5 per mile
traveled. Write an equation to calculate your total cost (c) at the end of

Answer:

$425

Explanation:

Equation can be written as follows:

c = 200 + 5m

Plug 45 in for m to get this:

c = 200 + 5(45)

Simplify!

c = 200 + 225

c = 425

Hope this helps :)
