Question

Rita's company reimburses her expenses on food, lodging, and conveyance during business trips. The company pays $55 a day for food and lodging and $0.45 for each mile traveled. Rita drove 300 miles and was reimbursed $2335.

Part A: Create an equation that will determine the number of days x on the trip (3 points)

Part B: Solve this equation justifying each step with an algebraic property of equality. (6 points)

Part C: How many days did Rita spend on this trip? (1 points)

Answer 1

55x+0.45m=reimbursement
where x=days m=miles
This is your equation for part A.
So $55*# of days
0.45c*# of miles
added together gives you her payment.

Answer 2

Answer 3

just substitute the values your given.
Just think about it,
$55 per day, so in 2 days she gets 2*55, etc.
We are given the number of miles, and she gets paid $0.45 per mile, so 300*$0.45
We know she was paid $2335 total.
We don't know how many days she worked for, so we get
$55*days+0.45*300=2335
And Welcome.
