Solve the problem.

Police use the formula s = to estimate the speed s of a car in miles per hour, where d is the distance in feet that the car skidded and f is the coefficient of friction.  If the coefficient of friction on a certain gravel road is 0.25 and a car skidded 350 feet, find the speed of the car, to the nearest mile per hour.
