24 - 24 + .60x = 32 - 24
.60x = 8
.60x / .60 = 8 / .60
x = 7.5
300 + 7.5 = 307.50 miles |
Hey, I actually think you are right. If you look at the problem you are only paying 0.08/mile for the first 300mile after that it's .60. Your formula looks right to me.
I wish I could remember how to do the powers. There should be a chapter explaining that in your book it should have examples & be very clear.
