A service charges a $1.95 flat rate plus $0.05 per mile. Jason only has $12 to spend on a a ride.
Set up the cost equation C(m) where m is the number of miles:
C(m) = 0.05m + 1.95
The problems asks for the number of miles (m) when C(m) = 12:
0.05m + 1.95 = 12
Typing this equation into our search engine, we get:
m = 201
