Question

A car rental company charges a daily rate of $31 plus $0.30 per mile for a certain car. Suppose that you rent that car tor a day and your bill (before taxes) is $127. How many miles did you drive?

Answer 1

320 miles

Explanation:

Make an equation

31+0.30m=127

Subtract 31 on both sides

0.30m=96

Divide by 0.30 on both sides

m=320

So, you drove 320 miles

Hope this helps! :)
