Question

A car rental company charges $11 a day and 18 cents per mile to rent their cars. If the total charge for a 2-day rental was $61.60, how many miles were driven? Write and solve and equation.

Answer 1

220 miles

Explanation:

.18m + 11d = 61.60

d = 2

.18m + 22 = 61.60

Subtract 22 from both sides

.18m = 39.60

Divide both sides by .18

m = 220
