Question

CAN YOU FIGURE THIS OUT? I need your help, please! Trini's car breaks down on a highway. Trini estimates that she is 20 to 30 miles from the nearest car repair shop. She calls a towing company that charges a fee of $80 plus $3 per mile to tow a car. If Trini uses this towing company, which is the best estimate for the amount of money, m, she will pay for the company to tow her car?

Answer 2

Why did you tag me?

Answer 3

The best case scenario is 20 miles.
If she gets towed nowhere, it's an $80 fee, right?

How would you write out the fee?

Answer 4

I'm not sure.

Answer 5

Try :) Talk it out. How much do you think she would be charged if she was towed one mile, and why?
