It cost $159 to drive the van for 120 miles
Explanation:
The flat fee of the van = $99
The charge per mile = $0.50
Let m represent the number of miles
T = total cost
The total cost becomes:
T = 0.5m + 99
When you drive 120 miles, m = 120 miles
T = 0.5(120) + 99
T = 60 + 99
T = $159
Hence, it cost $159 to drive the van for 120 miles
