Sagot :

Given the formula:

[tex]F=8\mleft(s-60\mright)+40[/tex]

where F is the cost, in dollars, of the fine is a person caught driving at a speed of ( s )miles per hour

When F = $192, we will solve the formula to find s

so,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 192=8\mleft(s-60\mright)+40 \\ 192-40=8(s-60) \\ 152=8(s-60) \\ \frac{152}{8}=s-60 \\ \\ 19=s-60 \\ 19+60=s \\ s=79 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the answer will be:

The person's speed was 79 miles per hour.​
