Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of traveling 25km would be $3000.

You can travel 35 km for $4200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

For 30km cost $3,600.

30 km = $3600

Divide both sides by 30.

$\frac{30}{30}\text{ km}=\frac{3600}{30}$

$1 \text{ km} =120$ ....(1)

The cost of 1 km is $120.

Part (A) what would be the cost of traveling 25km

Multiply both the sides of equation 1 by 25.

25 km = 3000

Hence, the cost of traveling 25km would be $3000.

Part(B) How far could you travel for $4,200?

Divide 4200 by 120.

$\frac{4200}{120}=35$

Hence, you can travel 35 km for $4200.
