Calculating Speeding Fines

The video tutorial explains how speeding fines are calculated in Northwestern Washington County using a specific formula. It covers two main problems: calculating the fine for driving at 93 miles per hour and determining the speed when the fine is $335. The tutorial walks through the steps of substituting values into the formula and solving for the unknowns, providing a clear understanding of the process.

What is the formula used to calculate speeding fines in Northwestern Washington County?

• F of S = 25 x (S - 60) + 85

• F of S = 15 x (S - 40) + 95

• F of S = 10 x (S - 30) + 100

• F of S = 20 x (S - 50) + 90

If a driver is caught speeding at 93 miles per hour, what is the fine according to the formula?

• $1000

• $750

• $890

• $950

What is the first step in calculating the fine for a speed of 93 miles per hour?

• Add 100 to the speed

• Subtract 40 from the speed

• Subtract 30 from the speed

• Multiply the speed by 20

If the fine is $335, what is the first step to find the speed?

• Subtract 95 from the fine

• Add 95 to the fine

• Multiply the fine by 15

• Divide the fine by 15

What equation is formed when the fine is $335?

• 335 = 10 x (S - 30) + 100

• 335 = 15 x (S - 40) + 95

• 335 = 20 x (S - 50) + 90

• 335 = 25 x (S - 60) + 85

What is the result of combining the constants -600 and 95 in the equation?

• -515

• -605

• -495

• -505

After solving the equation, what speed corresponds to a fine of $335?

• 56 miles per hour

• 50 miles per hour

• 65 miles per hour

• 60 miles per hour

What is the final step in solving for the speed when the fine is $335?

• Multiply both sides by 15

• Subtract 505 from both sides

• Add 505 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 15

What is the purpose of the video tutorial?

• To demonstrate how to calculate speeding fines

• To provide tips on avoiding speeding tickets

• To explain the history of speeding fines

What is the main takeaway from the problem-solving process discussed?

• Recognizing the impact of fines on driving behavior

• Learning how to solve equations step by step

• Understanding the importance of speed limits

• Appreciating the complexity of traffic laws
