Question

Kayla is running for charity. Her dad pledges to give her $0.50 per mile she runs. Her mom pledges to give her a flat donation of $5. How many miles will Kayla have to run to get the same donation from both parents?

Answer 1

Answer:

  10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of miles Kayla runs. We want to find m such that ...

  0.50m = 5.00

Divide by the coefficient of m:

  m = 5.00/0.50 = 10

Kayla has to run 10 miles to get the same donation from both parents.
