(a) What is your cost if you travel 53 miles?
(b) If your cost was $63.00, how many miles were you charged for traveling?
(c) Suppose you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental.
What would be the maximum number of miles you could travel?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(a) Substitute 53 instead of x into the formula and calculate.
(b) To answer the question, solve an equation
42 + 0.25x = 63.
The solution is x = = 84 miles.
(c) miles = = 232.
