Alice MeyerMeyer?,owner of Flower DirectFlower Direct?, operates a local chain of floral shops. Each shop has its own delivery van. Instead of charging a flat delivery? fee,

MeyerMeyer wants to set the delivery fee based on the distance driven to deliver the flowers. MeyerMeyer wants to separate the fixed and variable portions of her van operating costs so that she has a better idea how delivery distance affects these costs. She has the following data from the past 7? months:

February and May are always Flower DirectFlower Direct?'s biggest months because of? Valentine's Day and? Mother's Day, respectively. Use the? high-low method to determine

Flower DirectFlower Direct?'s cost equation for van operating costs. Use your results to predict van operating costs at a volume of 16 comma 00016,000 kilometres.

? / ? = variable cost (slope)

? - ? = fixed cost

Use the? high-low method to determine Flower DirectFlower Direct?'s operating cost equation. ?(Round the variable cost to the nearest cent and the fixed cost to the nearest whole? dollar.)

Y = $?x + $?

Use the operating cost equation you determined above to predict van operating costs at a volume of 16 comma 00016,000 kilometres

the operating costs at a volume of 16 comma 00016,000 kilometres is ?$ ?
