Final answer:
To find out how many miles you can travel for $346.50, subtract the fixed weekly rate from the total amount and then divide by the cost per mile. The result is 900 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate how many miles you can travel in one week for $346.50 with the given rental car agency's rates, start by subtracting the fixed weekly rate from the total amount. Subtract $210.00 (weekly rate) from $346.50 (total amount) to find the amount allocated for miles.
The calculation will be:
$346.50 - $210.00 = $136.50
This amount represents the cost for the miles driven. To find out how many miles this is, divide $136.50 by the cost per mile, which is $0.15.
The calculation will be:
$136.50 / $0.15 = 910 miles
However, as the options given are only in 100-mile increments, and 910 is closest to 900, the answer would be 900 miles, which is option (a).
