Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:See the solution process below:Explanation:The formula for solving this problem is:c=f+(r⋅m)Where:c is the total cost - $750 for this problemf is the fixed cost - $700 for this problemr is the variable rate cost - $0.15 per mile for this problemm is the number of miles traveled - what we are solving for in this problem.Substituting and solving for m gives:$750=$700+($0.15mi⋅m)−$700+$750=−$700+$700+($0.15mi⋅m)$50=0+($0.15mi⋅m)$50=$0.15mi⋅mmi$0.15⋅$50=mi$0.15⋅$0.15mi⋅mmi$0.15⋅$50=mi$0.15⋅$0.15mi⋅m500.15mi=m333mi=mFor $750 the limo can travel 333 miles rounded to the nearest mile.
