Expert Solution

Step 1

6. Given: The fine(F) for speeding on a 70 mile per hour highway by the equation: $F = 60 + 20 (s - 70)$ , where s is the speed in miles per hour.

Given fine is equal to $280.

So,

$\begin{array}{rcl} F & = & 60 + 20 (s - 70) \\ 280 & = & 60 + 20 (s - 70) \\ 220 & = & 20 (s - 70) \\ (s - 70) & = & 11 \\ s & = & 81 m i l e s / h o u r \end{array}$

Thus, the speed is 81 miles per hour when the fine is $280.

Hence the correct option for 6th is C. 81 mph.
