The equation y=4.75x+20 gives the cost y of towing a car if the car is towed x miles.
According to to the model, what is the best estimate of the cost for towing a car 22 miles.


A. $24.75
B $46.25
C $104.50
D $124.50

Respuesta :

The answer to the question is D

Answer: $124.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the equation y=4.75x+20 gives the cost y of towing a car if the car is towed x miles.

To find the best estimate of the cost for towing a car 22 miles., we substitute x= 22 in the above equation, we get

Cost of  towing a car 22 miles=[tex]y=4.75(22)+20=[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow\ y=104.50+20=124.50[/tex]

Therefore, the best estimate of the cost for towing a car 22 miles = $124.50
