Question

John rents a car for $85 a week plus $0.26 per mile.How far can he travel on a budget of $215?

Answer 1

500 miles

Explanation:

John has a budget of $215 after paying the $85 for the week he is left with $130 to spend on distance

215-85=130

130/0.26=500

therefore he can travel 500 miles

Answer 2

The equation to solve this would be 85+0.26x=215
And then you would solve for x
X=500

So he can travel 500 miles
