Sagot :

The number of miles he drove for a cost of $30.50 is 275 miles.

How to find the number of miles using linear equation?

Using linear equation,

y = mx + b

where

  • m = slope
  • b  = y-intercept

Therefore,

9 cents = $0.09

y = 35.50 + 0.09x

where

x = number of miles drove

y = total cost

Therefore,

60.25 =  35.50 + 0.09x

60.25 - 35.50 = 0.09x

24.75 = 0.09x

x = 24.75 / 0.09

x = 275 miles
