To express Melissa’s mother’s donation, we can analyze the options given for the equation
based on the number of miles
. The likely choice is
(B), which suggests she earns $2 for every mile walked, plus a base donation of $10. It’s a common structure that shows a linear relationship between miles walked and the amount of donation.
When Melissa’s mother’s donation is $44, we set up the equation
. Solving for
gives us
, meaning she walked 17 miles (B). Good on her for hitting that goal!
Now, for the last part, to find how many miles will secure at least $65, we set
:
leads to
. Thus, any whole number miles from 28 upward (B–F) will suffice. So, options like 27 miles would just barely meet the minimum, while 29 miles and above would definitely hit the mark. Happy walking!
