Answer:

  • C = 0.97m
  • $1164 for 1200 miles
  • 845 miles for $820

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a car's cost of operation is $485 for 500 miles, you want an equation relating cost for m miles, and solutions to that equation for 1200 miles, and for a cost of $820.

<h3>Cost per mile</h3>

The cost per mile is found by dividing the cost by the associated number of miles:

  $485/(500 mi) = $0.97 /mi

<h3>Equation</h3>

The equation for the cost will show the cost as the cost per mile multiplied by the number of miles:

  C = 0.97m . . . . . where C is cost in dollars for m miles driven

<h3>1200 miles</h3>

The cost for driving $1200 miles will be ...

  C = 0.97(1200) = $1164

The cost of driving 1200 miles is $1164.

<h3>$820</h3>

The number of miles that can be driven for a cost of $820 is ...

  820 = 0.97m

  m = 820/0.97 = 845.36

About 845 miles are driven for a cost of $820.

Problem in the attachment
TEA [102]
You can solve this by multiplying each numerator by the answer choices and trying to divide them. I can't get the fraction maker to work at the moment, so I'll write the calculations on a separate attachment.

As you can see, the only choice that works to eliminate both fractions is the fourth choice, 50x.
