Question

Chloe needs to rent a car while on vacation . The rental company charges $17.95 , plus 18 cents for each mile driven. If Chloe only has $40 to spend on the car rental, what is the maximum number of miles she can drive ?

Answer 1

The maximum number of miles than Chloe can drive are:

122.5

Explanation:

$1 = 100¢

18¢ = 18/100 = $0.18

17.95 + 0.18m = 40

m = maximum number of miles than can drive

0.18m = 40 - 17.95

0.18m = 22.05

m = 22.05/0.18

m = 122.5
