Answer 1

Hello!
The first day costs 145. If we do 445-145 we get 300. After the first day, it costs 60 per day, so we divide the remaining 300 by 60. This is 5 days. If we add 5 and 1 up, Mike rented the car for 6 days.
Hope this helped you!

Answer 2

Mike will rent the car for 6 days.

Explanation:

Let Mike rents a car for n days.

It is given in the question that for the first day rental of the car was £445.

So the days left in n days after first day rental = (n - 1)

For (n - 1) days rental will be = £60(n - 1)

Total rental including first day rental = £145 + £60(n - 1)

Now the equation representing the total fare will be

445 = 145 + 60(n - 1)

445 - 145 = 60(n - 1)

300 = 60(n - 1)

n - 1 =
`(300)/(60)`

n = 1 + 5

n = 6 days

Therefore, Mike will rent the car for 6 days.
