Question

In a certain country the fines for speeding in a school zone are $160 plus an additional $4 for every mile per hour over the speed limit. A. Write a function to represent the speeding fines

Answer 1

T= 160 + 4x

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The $160 fine is a fixed cost. It will remain constant.

The $4 additional fine acts as a variable cost. It varies with the number of miles per hour.

To calculate the total cost (T), we need to use the following formula:

T= 160 + 4x

x= miles per hour exceeding the speed limit.
