4.In the town of sleepy oak the fine for a speeding ticket is $32.65 + s dollars, where s is the miles per hour over the speed limit.
A. What is the fine for going 38.4 miles per hour o=in a 25-miles-per-hour school zone?
B. Mr.Taylor was fined $50.15 for speeding speeding in the same school zone.How fast was he driving?
A. 32.65+(38.4-25) = ?
B. 32.65+(x-25) = 50.15
A. To calculate the fine for going 38.4 miles per hour in a 25-miles-per-hour school zone, we need to subtract the speed limit from the actual speed to find the miles per hour over the limit.
First, subtract the speed limit (25 mph) from the actual speed (38.4 mph):
Speed over the limit = 38.4 mph - 25 mph = 13.4 mph
Next, multiply the speed over the limit by the fine rate per mph over the limit ($s):
Fine = $32.65 + $s per mph
Fine = $32.65 + 13.4 mph * $s per mph
Since the question does not specify the value of 's', we cannot give an exact answer. However, by substituting the value of 's' with any given rate, you can calculate the fine.
B. To determine how fast Mr. Taylor was driving when he received a fine of $50.15, we need to reverse the calculation.
First, subtract the fixed fine amount ($32.65) from the total fine ($50.15):
Fine over the limit = $50.15 - $32.65 = $17.50
Next, we can divide the fine over the limit by the fine rate per mph over the limit to find the speed over the limit:
Speed over the limit = Fine over the limit / $s per mph
Similar to question A, since the question does not provide the specific value of 's', we cannot give an exact answer. By substituting the value of 's' with any given rate, you can calculate the speed over the limit.
