Question

a car rental agency charge 20 per day plus 30 cents per mile. if you had one of the car for 5 days and your total bill is $197.50, how many miles did you drive it?

Answer 1

325 miles

Explanation:

$20 for each day

5 days

$0.30 for each mile

20(5) + 0.3x = 197.5

100 + 0.3x = 197.5

100 - 100 + 0.3x = 197.5 - 100

0.3x = 97.5

`(0.3x)/(0.3) = (97.5)/(0.3)`

x = 325
