Jacoby Vang · Answer 1

I think it should (B) because $1.50 only count once and the $0.75 is going to count every time so the equation should be 0.75 * + 1.5 = 10 should be the answer.

Elyse Medina · Answer 2

The x has to be times the additional miles value or 0.75

A and C are wrong

1.50+0.75x=10

B is answer
