Complete question :
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. How much did Hans pay for his trip?
Answer:
$92.39
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total distance = 450 miles
Amount charged for fees and taxes = $15.89
Amount charged ti redeem each mile = $0.17
In the equation:
Y = $0.17x + $15.89
X = distance Hans is flying
Y = cost of trip
Y = $0.17(450) + $15.89
Y = $76.50 + $15.89
Y = $92.39
