Question

Hans is using frequent flier miles to fly to a location 750 miles away, but the airline he is using still charges $20.19 for fees and taxes and $0.15 to redeem each mile. In the equation below, x represents the distance Hans is flying, and y represents the cost of the trip. Y = $0.15x + $20.19 How much did Hans pay for his trip?

Answer 1

Cost of the trip = $132.69

Explanation:

Given:

Total distance = 750 mile

Fixed charge = $20.19

Variable charges = $0.15 per mile

Find:

Cost of the trip

Computation:

Y = $0.15x + $20.19

Y = $0.15(750) + $20.19

Y = $132.69

Cost of the trip = $132.69
