Question

A car rental charges $175 per week plus $0.10 per mile to rent a car. How many miles can you travel in one week for $195?(NEED ANSWER ASAP+ EXPLANATION)

Answer 1

200 miles

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation to represent the total cost of renting the car.

Total cost = Weekly fee + Mileage fee

The weekly fee is $175, and the mileage fee is $0.10 per mile.

Let distance be x.

We want to know how many miles we can travel in one week for $195, so we can set up the equation as follows:

195 = 175 + 0.10x

Subtracting 175 from both sides of the equation, we get:

195 - 175 = 175 + 0.10x - 175

20 = 0.10x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.10, we get:

`\sf (20)/(0.10) = (0.10x)/(0.10)`

x = 200

Therefore, we can travel 200 miles in one week for $195.
