Question

A rental car agency charges $240.00 per week plus $0.25 per mile to rent a car. How many miles can you travel in one week for $370.00?

a) 800 miles
b) 962.5 miles
c) 9250 miles
d) 9625 miles

Answer 1

To travel in one week for $370.00, you can travel 520 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of miles that can be traveled in one week for $370.00, we need to determine how many miles can be rented for $240.00 and subtract that from the total budget. The cost per mile is $0.25, so we divide the remaining budget of $130.00 by $0.25 to find the number of additional miles. Therefore, the answer is 520 miles.
