Answer:

240 miles

Explanations:

The cost of rent = $25

The charge per mile = $0.15

Let the number of miles be represented by x

The total bill = $61

Total cost = (Cost of rent) + (Charge per mile)(Number of miles)

61 = 25 + 0.15x

61 - 25 = 0.15x

0.15x = 36

x = 36/0.15

x = 240

I drove 240 miles
