Question

Lucy is going to walk in a fundraising event to raise money for her school band. Her mother has agreed to donate $7.50 to the school for each mile that Lucy walks, plus an additional $25. If Lucy wants to make at least $85.00 from her mother’s donation, how far will she have to walk? Show your work.

Answer 1

8 miles

Explanation:

let x= miles she walks

7.50x+25=85

subtract 25 from both

7.50x=60

divide both by 7.50

x=8
