Ramon transports flowers for Rolling Rosie’s Garden Center. On his last job, Ramon made $0.31 for every mile he drove. He earned a total of $389.36. How many miles did Ramon drive.

Answer 1

To determine the miles Ramon drove, divide his total earnings by his earning rate per mile. Doing the calculation, we find that Ramon drove 1256 miles for Rolling Rosie’s Garden Center.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to find out how many miles Ramon drove if he earned a total of $389.36 and makes $0.31 for every mile. To determine this, we can use the formula for calculating distance based on payment and per-mile earnings:

Total Earnings = Rate per Mile × Number of Miles Driven

Therefore, to find the number of miles driven we can rearrange the formula:

Number of Miles Driven = Total Earnings / Rate per Mile

This results in:

Number of Miles Driven = $389.36 / $0.31

Now, we will calculate the miles driven

Number of Miles Driven = 1256 miles

Ramon drove 1256 miles for Rolling Rosie’s Garden Center based on his earnings and the per-mile rate.
