Given :
Hans is using frequent flier miles to fly to a location 450 miles away, but the airline he is using still charges $15.89 for fees and taxes and $0.17 to redeem each mile.
In the equation below, x represents the distance Hans is flying, and y represents the cost of the trip. y = $0.17x + $15.89 .....1)
To Find :
How much did Hans pay for his trip.
Solution :
x = 450 miles.
Putting value of x in equation 1 we get :
y = $(0.17×450 + 15.89)
y = $(76.5+15.89)
y = $92.39
Therefore, Hans will pay $92.39 for his trip.
Hence, this is the required solution.
