Question

In Oakland County the fine for speeding is $15 for each mile per hour over the speed limit. Jim was fined $165 for speeding in a 25-mph zone. How fast was Jim going? Your answer​

Answer 1

36 mph

Explanation:

First, we have to find the unit rate of the money.

Since it's 15 dollars for each mile over the speed limit, divide 15 by 165.

The answer is 11, which means he was going 11 mph over the speed limit.

Add 11 to 25, and you get 36
