Question

To rent a car the fast company charges $75 per day plus a $0.05 per mile.How many miles did the person drive if the cost of renting the car was $92.40?

Answer 1

y = 0.05m + 75...where y is the cost of renting the vehicle

so if u paid 92.40...then y = 92.40

92.40 = 0.05m + 75
92.40 - 75 = 0.05m
17.4 = 0.05m
17.4 / 0.05 = m
348 = m <=== the person drove 348 miles

Answer 2

34 miles, 92.40-75=17.40/0.5= 34.8 miles, simplified to 34.
