Question 891882: Review the intercept form of an equation : y=mx+b
Jane is renting a car for a trip to visit her cousins .The charges will be $200 for the week plus $0.20 per mile .
A) How much will the charges be if she travels 450 miles ?
B) How many miles would she have traveled if the total bill is $300?

a) Assuming Jane's 450 miles were traveled in the same week, she would owe 450 * .20 = $90 in mileage + $200 base fee. Total: $290
b) If the total bill is $300, and if the travel was within a week, Jane owes $300 - $200 base fee = $100. $100 divided by .20 = 500 miles
