Question

Nathan has a $75 budget to rent a car for a day. The daily rental charge is $29.50 and then he will also have to pay 0.55 per mile. How many miles can he drive the car without exceeding his budget? (All partial miles are counted as full miles.)

Answer 1

82 miles

Explanation:

75-29.50 = 45.50

45.50/0.55 = 82.7272727273

82 x 0.55 = 45.10

45.10+29.50 = 74.60
