HEY THERE.
I THINK THE CORRECT ANSWER IS...SAM IS 20
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Although this problem is quite long and exhausting, it is deceptively simple.
We know that his 12-gallon fuel tank is only half full, so we know that the car needs 6 more gallons of fuel.
If he turns in the car late, he will have to pay y = 2.59x + 32.00, where x is the number of empty gallons (in this case, 6)
In this case, he will pay 2.59(6) + 32.00 = $47.54
If he turns in the car on time, he will have to pay y = 4.50x + 5.00, where x is the number of empty gallons (still 6).
In this case, he will pay 4.50(6) + 5.00 = $32.00
Using these results, we know that B must be true.
Hey there the answer would be 300 minutes
