Answer:

Number of miles= 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed cost= $150

Unitary cost per mile= $3.5

Total cost= $2,050

First, we will establish the total cost formula for ONE bus:

Total cost= 150 + 3.5x

x= number of miles

For two buses:

Total cost= 150*2 + (3.5*2)x

Total cost= 300 + 7x

Replacing the total cost information:

2,050= 300 + 7x

1,750/7 = x

250 =

Number of miles= 250
