    Final cost of ticket = $205

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Speed limit is given: 60 miles per hour

    Car travelling at a speed of: 78 miles per hour

    Car is exceeding speed limit by: 78 - 60 = 18 miles per hour

    We are given that the dine ticket includes $25 plus $10 for each mile over the speed limit:

    Final cost of ticket = $25 + (miles over speed limit * 10)

    = 25 + (18*10)

    = 25 + 180 = $205
