PartIII. We should now have a good process for determining the total cost of a trip for any rate of speed greater than or
equal to 50 miles per hour. Next is to create a Total Cost function usinq X as the unknown rate in miles per hour.
Simplify your answers and remember to include units. As you work through each step, test your answers by plugging in
parts I and IL Uea\e a\qe tTraic ex|ffiton ,

A. Let's find how long the trip will take.

C. Next, to begin determining the fuel cost, we need to find the mileage (miles per gallon of fuel) when the truck
is travelling at X miles per hour.

D. With the fuel mileage known, how much fuel will be needed for the 260 miles?
