Question

you rent a moving van. you have to pay a flat fee of $99 plus 50 cents per mile. You drive 120 miles. How much does it cost to drive the van

Answer 1

Explanation:

okey first you have to make the equation:

99+X0.5= ?

You express the 50cents like 0.5 because they are half a dollar

X signifies the you drove so X=120

99+120(0.5)

120 X 0.5= 60

99+60=150 You have to pay 150 dollars

This only works if your talking about dollars.

Hope this helped :)
