Question

A car rental company charges a daily rate of $ 25 plus $ 0.10 per mile for a certain car. Suppose that you rent that car for a day and your bill (before taxes) is $ 39.00. How many miles did you drive?

Answer 1

Answer: 140 Miles

Explanation:

39-25= 14

14/.10 = 140

Answer 2

140 miles

Explanation:

Let's solve the equation step by step,

Step 1: Substract the daily charge of $25 from $39

➟ $39 - $25

➟ $14 {remaining cost except daily rate}

Step 2: Divide $14 by cost per mile

➟ $14/0.10

➟ 140 {total mile driven}

∴ He/she drove 140 miles
