Well you didn't post the expressions but let X be the amount of money for first place. This means X-50 would be the amount of second place because <span>each subsequent place after 1st wins $50 less than the previous place. Thirds, would be X-50-50 or X-100
Thus the total amount of money would be all of the values combined which is X+X-50+X-100=3X-150

Well since we already have our unit per mile.
We know that 1 mile = $3.50
And that the tow company towed the car 12 miles.

soo..
12 x $3.50 = $42.00
So your answer is D. $42.00
