Twice last​ month, Judy Carter rented a car from a car rental company and traveled around the Southwest on business. The company rents its car for a daily​ fee, plus an additional charge per mile driven. Judy recalls that her first trip lasted 4​ days, she drove 450​ miles, and the rental cost her $264.00. On her second business trip she drove 200 miles in 3​ days, and paid $165.00 for the rental. Find the daily​ fee, and find the mileage charge.
