Question

(please help)

Maxine needs to rent a car for a week. She has $300 to cover the rental. If the car costs $35 a day and $0.25 a mile, how many miles can she drive for $300?

Write an equation then solve

Answer 1

Cost of rent=$300

Cost of 1 day=$35

Therefore cost of 1 week=35×7=$245

Cost of total mile=300-245=55

Cost of 1 mile=$0.25

Miles in $55=54/0.25=220

220miles

Answer 2

220 miles

Explanation:

For 1 week=7 days

So $35*7=245

300-245=55

$55/.25= 220 miles
