Question

A rental company charges $85 a day and 30 cents a mile for renting a truck. Michael rents a truck for 2 days, and his bill comes to $290. How many miles did he drive?

Answer 1

400 miles

Explanation:

Let m be the number of miles.

`85(2) + .30m = 290`

`170 + .30m = 290`

`.30m = 120`

`m = 400`
