The scale on a road map is 1 cm: 500 mi. if the distance on the map between new york city and memphis is 2.2 centimeters, what is the actual distance between the two cities?

a represents the Number of Minutes Late, (a=15 in this case)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the daycare charges a base fee of $3 plus $0.50 per minute late for late pickups(after closing time).

Albin on arrival for pickup had to pay $10.50;

She uses the equation

10.50=0.50a+3

0.50a=10.50-3

0.50a=7.50

a=7.50/0.5

a= 15

It means Albin was 15 minutes late to a pickup.
