Question

Swan Auto Rental charges $32 per day plus $0.18 per mile for an automobile rental (a) Elaine rented a car for one day and she drove 83 miles. How much did she pay? (b) Ramon paid $69.80 to rent a car for one day. How far did he drive​

Answer 1

a) $46.40

b) 210 miles

Explanation:

a) $32 + (83miles)*($0.18/mile) = $32 + $14.40

= $46.40

b) $32 + (Xmiles)*($0.18/mile) = $69.80

(Xmiles)*($0.18/mile) = $69.80-$32

Xmiles = ($69.80-$32)/($0.18/mile)

X miles = ($69.80-$32)/($0.18/mile)

X = 210 miles
