best estimate for the amount of money, m, she will pay for the company to tow
her car

NEED ANSWER ASAP

You have about 20-30 miles to the repair shop. You also have the $80 initial fee and the $3 every mile (m). You then put in the equation 80+3m. Since it is 20-30 m (miles) put m as 25. Multiply 25 by 3 to get 75. Then add 75+80 to find the answer which s estimated is $155.

The amount of money paid to the towing company can be estimated to be between $140 to $170

Distance = 20 to 30 miles

Fixed fee charged = $80

Charhe per mile = $3

The total amount charged by the towing company can be expressed thus :

Fixed fee + (charge per mile × number of miles)

80 + 3d

Hence,

Total Estimated charge ;

d = 20 ; 80 + 3(20) = 80 + 60 = $140

d = 30 ; 80 + 3(30) = 80 + 90 = $170

Therefore, the estimated amount would be between $140 to $170
