Solution
Okay the sales rep. ALWAYS receives $120 for lodging but $.26 per every mile. So what we don\'t know is HOW MANY MILES WILL SHE DRIVE. So this element will be x. Her total cost includes 120, and .26 multiplied by how many miles she has driven. This is the same as saying this: C= .26x + 120
