Question

A car rental agency advertised renting a luxury , full size car for $34.95 per day and $.49 per mile. If you rent this car for 5 days, how many whole miles can you drive if you only have $200 to spend

Answer 1

34.95 (5) + .49m = 200

Multiply 34.95 to 5.

174.75 + .49m = 200

Subtract 174.75 on both sides.

.49m = 25.25

Divide .49 on both sides to get "m" alone.

m = 51
