Question

Maxine needs to rent a car for a week. She has $500 to cover the rental. If the car costs $45 a day and $0.25 a mile, how many miles can she drive for $500?

Answer 1

2,000 miles

Explanation:

All you need is how many miles Maxine can drive for 500 dollars, so you can disregard the 45 dollar charge. you would just do $500 divided by $0.25, which gets you 2,000.

Answer 2

220 miles

Explanation:

For 1 week=7 days

So that means $35*7=245

300-245=55

$55/.25= 220 miles
