Question

A rental truck costs $96 per day plus $0.60 per each mile. If Calvin can spend a maximum of $120, how many miles can he drive the rental truck?

Answer 1

40 miles

Explanation:

You would have to start by doing $120 - $96 for the per-day fee, which leaves Calvin with $24 to spend on miles.

Next you would do $24 ÷ $0.60 to find the number of miles he can drive, which is 40 miles.
