Question

A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $26.95 per day and $0.27 per mile. If David rents this car for 3 days, how many whole miles can he drive on a $100 budget

Answer 1

70 miles

Explanation:

26.95×3= 80.85

100-80.85= 19.15

0.27×70= 18.90

19.15-18.90= 0.25

He should have O.25 cents left

Answer 2

Explanation:

1 day = $ 26.95

3 days = 26.95 × 3

= $80.85

Remainder = $100 - $80.85

= $19.15

1 mile = $ 0.27

= $19.15 ÷ $0.27

= 71 miles
