Question

Ruby signed up for a frequent-filer program. She receives 3400frequent-flier miles for the first round trip and 1200 miles for all additional round trips. How many miles will she have after five round trips?

Answer 1

Answer: 8200 miles

Explanation:

Based on the question, since she wants to go for five round trips, her first round trip is fixed at 3400 and she will have 4 more additional trips. This can them be calculated as:

= 3400 + 1200x

x = additional trips = 4

We then put the value of x into the equation

= 3400 + 1200x

= 3400 + 1200(4)

= 3400 + 4800

= 8200

She'll have 8200 mile after 5 round trips
