Answer:

203.28 miles

Explanation:

Given data

charge per day= $45.95

charge per mile= 0.35

The expression for the total is

y= 45.95+0.35x

where x is the number of miles

We want to find the value of x when y= 117.10

substitute

117.10=45.95+0.35x

117.10-45.95=0.35x

71.15=0.35x

x= 71.15/0.35

x=203.28 miles
