Question

Janet wants to rent a U-Haul to move her mother. She spends $225 for the move. The

U-Haul costs $45 up front and $1.50 a mile. How many miles did her mother moved?

Answer 1

120 miles

Explanation:

Shes got 225 dollars total. She spends 45 dollars to purchase the uhaul. nOw we understamd that 225 - 45 = 180. Now we have 180 dollars.

assuming she spent the rest of her 180 dollars on shipping, and shipping 1.50 we need to divide,

after thats done (with a calculator) we get 120

Answer 2

Answer: 120

Explanation:

The equation for this problem is $225(total)= $45 (upfront) + $1.50m where (m) is miles driven

we can solve this algebraically with out numbers and a variable

so

225=45+1.5m

-45 -45

180=1.5m

/1.5 /1.5

120=m

So Janet drove a total of 120 miles
