Answer 2

Answer:

19 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost to deliver the package is the flat fee plus miles times cost per mile

cost = 5+ .15m  where m is the miles

7.85 = 5+.15m

Subtract 5 from each side

7.85 -5 = 5-5+.15m

2.85 = .15m

Divide each side by .15

2.85/.15 = .15m/.15

19 =m
