Answer 1

If your cost Is $66.00, how many miles were you charged for traveling?

• y = cost = $66

`66=46+0.25x\\66-46=0.25x\\20=0.25x\\x=(20)/(0.25) =80`80 miles

You have a max of $100 to spend on a car rental. what would be the maximum number of miles you could Travel?

• y = cost = $100

`100=46+0.25x\\100-46=0.25x\\54=0.25x\\x=(54)/(0.25) =216`216 miles
