Answer:

0.2x + 5

Explanation:

The equation for this situation would be y = 0.2x + 5, in which x is the number of miles the driver travels. To find the total cost, or y, just plug in the number of miles for x.

Ex. A 5 mile drive

y = 0.2(5) + 5

y = 1 + 5

y = 6

The cost for a 5 mile drive is $6
