Her running costs are £75 per day.
She charges £1.90 per mile travelled.
On Tuesday she carried passengers for a total of 35 miles.
What was her total loss?​

Answer 1

She lost £8.50

Explanation:

£1.90 x 35 = £66.50 (how much she earned on Tuesday)

£75.00 - £66.50 = £8.50

so,

75 - 66.5

= 8.5 £
