He has to make a 95.
77*5=385
80*6(tests)=480
480-385=95
<span>"The company pays $55 a day for food and lodging and $0.45 for each mile traveled" means that if she travels
m miles and is on a trip for
x days then Rita will receive:
55x + 0.45m dollars.
Rita drove 300 miles, means that m=300. Thus </span>
55x + 0.45m becomes <span>

(dollars.)
She was reimbursed $2,335 means that

.
Part A:

.
Part B:
We are given the equation 55x+135=2,335. Subtracting 135 from both sides we have:
55x=2,335-135=2,200.
Dividing both sides by 55, we get: x=2,200/55=40.
Part C: since x represents the number of days Rita spend on this trip, and x=40, then Rita spent 40 days on this trip.
2nd attempt carries a price of 6% extra, so (6/100) * 548 is 32.88, so 548 + 32.88, the price is 580.88.
for the 3rd attempt 6% extra of that, (6/100) * 580.88, is 34.8528, so the price is 615.7328.
4th attempt is 6% extra of that, (6/100) * 615.7328, 36.943968, adding that will give us 652.676768.
