Answer 1

London is correct, he got paid more than $ 40

Solution:

Given that,

Miles dove on Tuesday = 103.5 miles

Miles drove on Wednesday = 320.75 miles

Miles drove on Thursday = 186.30 miles

The total miles is given as:

`Total\ Miles = 103.5 + 320.75 + 186.30\\\\Total\ Miles = 424.25 + 186.30\\\\Total\ Miles = 610.55`

Thus total miles drove is 610.55 miles

His company pays $0.07 for each mile he drives

Therefore,

1 mile = $ 0.07

Now find for 610.55 miles

`610.55\ miles = 0.07 * 610.55 = 42.7385`

Thus he got paid $ 42.7385

He expects to be paid more than $40.00

Yes, London is correct, he got paid more than $ 40
