Hey there!
<em>C = 0.25x + 40</em>
(a) For this part we solve for C when x = 240. Substitute 240 in for x.
C = 0.25(240) + 40
Multiply 240 by 0.25.
C = 60 + 40
Add.
C = 100
The cost is $100.
<u>Check</u>
100 = 0.25(240) + 40
100 = 60 + 40
100 = 100
(b) For this part we solve for x when C = 180. Substitute 180 for C.
180 = 0.25x + 40
Subtract 40 from each side.
140 = 0.25x
Divide each side by 0.25.
560 = x
This person drove 560 miles.
<u>Check</u>
180 = 0.25(560) + 40
180 = 140 + 40
180 = 180
(c) For this we must make an inequality with C = 150.
Since they want the cost to be <em>no more than</em> 150, we will use the ≥ symbol.
C ≥ 0.25x + 40
Substitute 150 for C. Solve for x.
150 ≥ 0.25x + 40
Subtract 40 from each side.
110 ≥ 0.25x
Divide each side by 0.25.
440 ≥ x
The max number of miles they can drive is 440.
<u>Check</u>
150 ≥ 0.25(440) + 40
150 ≥ 110 + 40
150 ≥ 150
Hope this helps!
The area of the given trapezoid will be the sum of the areas of the triangular part and the rectangular part.
Now, the area of the rectangle, 
is:
squared yards
Likewise, the area, 
of the triangle will be:
Thus, the area of the trapezoid=
Thus the first option is the correct option.
The 3oz is better than the 20
