Answer :
They get $85 for just getting in the truck and starting the engine.
To earn $100, they need another $15 for mileage.
$15 / 0.17 = 88.2 miles
Rounded to the nearest mile, it's 88 miles (but that still leaves them 4¢ short).

Answer:
Atleast 88 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
A moving company charges a flat rate=$85
Cost of 1 mile driven=$0.17
We have to find the distance drive by the company to earn at least $100.
Let x mile drive by company .
According to question
[tex]85+0.17x\geq 100[/tex]
Subtract 85 on both sides of inequality
[tex]85+0.17x-85\geq 100-85[/tex]
[tex]0.17x\geq 15[/tex]
Divide by 0.17 on both sides
[tex]x\geq \frac{15}{0.17}[/tex]
[tex]x\geq 88.23[/tex]
[tex]x\geq 88[/tex] (round to nearest mile)
Hence, the company must drive atleast 88 miles to earn atleast $100.
