    The formula for solving this problem is:

    c

    =

    f

    +

    (

    r



    m

    )

    Where:

    c

    is the total cost - $750 for this problem

    f

    is the fixed cost - $700 for this problem

    r

    is the variable rate cost - $0.15 per mile for this problem

    m

    is the number of miles traveled - what we are solving for in this problem.
