Question 1054068

Please help me out. Thank you!

A speeding ticket is $100 plus $5 for every 1 mph over the speed limit.

a) Write a linear function to model the cost S(x) (in $) of a speeding ticket for a person caught driving x mph over the speed limit.

b) Evaluate S(15) and interpret the meaning in the context of this problem.
a.<pre>S(x) = 5x + 100</pre>b.<pre>S(15) = 5(15) + 100 = $175
You should be able to interpret b., based on equation in a.
