You can use the equation 35 + 0.25x.

Where x = miles.

Since you want to find out what the cost will be if he drove it 200 miles, input 200 for x in the equation:

35 + 0.25x
35 + 0.25(200)
35 + 500
535

So he will pay $535

You can represent this as an equation. Rate(R)=35+0.25(x). You can replace x with number of miles
