Question

A truck rental is $30 plus $.40 /mi. Find out how many miles Ken traveled if his bill was $58.80 .

Answer 1

72 miles

Explanation:

Let x equal the miles Ken travelled; this is what we need to find. Our equation is

$30 + $.40x = $58.80

Subtract $30 from both sides

$.40x = $28.80

Divide both sides by $.40

72 miles
