Question

A charter bus service charges a flat fee of $175, plus $2.50 per mile (one-way distance) for a bus. If the band paid exactly $1875 for three buses, how far did the band travel?

Answer 1

1875-(175*3)=1350

1350/(2.5*3)=180

The Band Travelled 180 Miles

Explanation:

Take the flat fee and multiply for the 3 buses.

Then (based on the info given) take the cost of the miles per hour and multiply by 3

Take that number and divide 1350 by the cost per miles to determine the miles the band traveled
