Answer 1

Number of miles is either less than 8255.25 or greater than 17255.25.

Mikeage of minivan = 12755.25

Possible number of miles on the sedan :

Mileage on minvan ± difference in mileage ;

12755.25 ± 4500

12755.25 + 4500 = 17255.25

12755.25 - 4500 = 8255.25

This means that the possible number of miles on the sedan is either greater than 17255.25 OR less Than 8255.25
