1. How many tolls will Stephanie pay?
2. What is the total cost of a one-way trip?

Answer 1

There are 3 tolls where Stephanie pays $ 4.05.

What is Distance?

The distance between two points is the length of the path connecting them.

Here,

Distance covered by Stephanie = 12 1/4 miles

                                                     = 12.25 miles

Distance between two toll tax = 3 1/2 miles

                                                   = 3.5 miles

Number of Tolls = Total distance covered / Distance between two tolls

                            = 12.25 / 3.5

                            = 3.5

                            ≈ 3 tolls.

Cost of 1 toll = $ 1.35

Total amount paid on toll = 3 X 1.35

                                          = $ 4.05

Thus, there are 3 tolls where Stephanie pays $ 4.05.
