Question

Write the correct equation for the following statement.

You decide to rent a limo for prom. The rate is $175 plus $5 per mile
traveled. Write an equation to calculate your total cost (c) at the end of
the evening for a given number of miles (m).


If you travel 45 miles what will be your total bill at the end
of the evening?

Answer 1

$175.00 for the limo

$5.00 per 1 mile

45 miles x $5.00 = $225.00

Total bill =
$225.00 + $175.00 = $400.00
