Answer 1

$34 and 77.8 miles

Explanation:

The computation of the amount for traveling 25 miles is shown below:

Since it is given that the rental company charges $2.75 plus $1.25 for each mile

So for 25 miles, the cost you have to pay is

= $2.75 + 25 miles × $1.25

= $2.75 + $31.25

= $34

Now for traveling for $100, the miles should be traveled is

= ($100 - $2.75) ÷ 1.25

= 77.8 miles

Hence, the same is to be considered
