Answer 1

Answer:

72 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

What we are given

• Veronica charges a dead fee of $60 for any tutoring session
• She charges .75$ per mile that she has to drive
• The maximum number of miles she is willing to drive is 16 miles

Given this we are asked to find the most amount of money she can make in one tutoring session.

Creating an equation

Based on the given information

If m = number of miles

Then the amount of money she makes in one driving session is equal to:

0.75m + 60

Finding the most money she can make from one session

If the maximum number of miles she is willing to drive is 16 , than the most money she can make in one session is equal to

0.75(16) + 60

==> simplify

12+60 = 72

The most money she can make in one tutoring session is 72 dollars
