Kenny plans to rent a bike to ride around Denver on Saturday afternoon. He must pay an initial fee of $5.00 and will then pay an additional $0.25 for each mile he rides. An equation to represent this scenario is y = $0.25x + 5 (where y represents the total Kenny will pay, and x represents the number of miles he rides). If Kenny plans to bike for exactly 75 miles, how much should he be prepared to pay?

Answer:

$23.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The equation y = $0.25x + 5

- In this equation, y represents the total amount Kenny will pay, and x represents the number of miles he rides.

If Kenny plans to bike for exactly 75 miles, how much should he be prepared to pay?

We substitute 75 in for x and solve:

y = 0.25(75) + 5

y = 18.75 + 5

y = $23.75

So,  Kenny should be prepared to pay $23.75 if he plans to bike for precisely 75 miles.
