Question

Jerry got a special week - long van rental for $146, with 200 miles free, and $0.36 for each mile after. How much will his rental cost if he drives 300 miles?

Answer 1

The answer is $182

300-200=100

100 x 0.36 = 36

146 + 36 = 182

Answer 2

Hi there!

Let's set up an equation to solve: Total = 146 + 0.36(300) - (200 x 0.36)
Then, simplify: Total = 146 + 108 - 72
Lastly, add everything together: Total = $182

Hope this helps!! :)
