Question

A car rRental agent agency advertised renting a car for 26. $95 per day and .33 $ per mile if Brad wants his car for three days how many whole miles he drives on a $200 budget

Answer 1

Brad in total drove approximately 361 miles.

Explanation:

Renting Cost per day of car = $26. 95

Cost per mile= $0.33

So, cost of renting car 3 days = 3 x $26. 95 = $80.85

Total money spent on the trip = $80.85

So, the actual spent money on distance = Total money spent - The renting charge

= $200 - $80.85 = $119.15

So, Distance travelled =
`\frac{\textrm{Total money spent on distance}}{\textrm{cost per mile}}`

=
`(119.15)/(0.33) = 361`

or, number of miles traveled = 361

So, Brad in total drove approximately 361 miles.
