Have you started this problem yet?
Do you understand what they are asking?

anonymous · Answer

no I haven't.. and not really.

anonymous · Answer

It seems they want you to put the amount of reimbursement into words.

anonymous · Answer

yeah I know but I don't know what to put

anonymous · Answer

Do you understand how the reimbursement in this problem is calculated? If you travel 22 miles for meetings, how much will you be reimbursed? @glitterythings

anonymous · Answer

that's what I don't understand

anonymous · Answer

how would I calculate it

anonymous · Answer

Yes. What does the problem say about the amount reimbursed?
It says it is $0.51 per mile, right?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

So, if you go 22 miles, how much would that be?

anonymous · Answer

umm I don't know.. ahhh

anonymous · Answer

to calculate it you would do:  0.51x22=11.22
You just multiply the number of miles traveled to the meetings by $0.51 to get the amount reimbursed.

anonymous · Answer

The question is asking you to describe how you get this answer. You multiplied, right?
:)

anonymous · Answer

but the miles is 50 so it would be 0.51 x 50 = 10.2

anonymous · Answer

yess! it is

anonymous · Answer

I believe that is all they are asking for here, I hope you understand this now. [:
Good luck with your studies! :D

anonymous · Answer

Also, It says the meetings are all within 50 miles. It does not say you travel 50 miles. [:

anonymous · Answer

okay thanks ! but if it says identify the input variable of the function it would be 50 miles right?

anonymous · Answer

and ohhh

anonymous · Answer

To determine the reimbursement, you must add up all your mileage travelling to these meetings, and multiply by $0.51. The input would be the amount traveled. The output would be the reimbursement. Given the amount traveled (in our example 22) you compute the reimbursement (in our example $11.22)

anonymous · Answer

I don't see where it says identify the input variable. Was there more to this problem?

anonymous · Answer

yes theres more.. hah
