Question

A car rental company charges $180 per week plus $0.28 per mile to rent a car. How many miles can you travel in one week for $299?

Answer 1

425 miles

Explanation:

Cost = 180 + .28m where m is the number of miles

We spent 299 dollars

299 = 180 + .28m

Subtract 180 from each side

299 - 180 = 180-180 + .28m

119 = .28m

Divide each side by .28

119/.28 = .28m/.28

425 = m
