Question

A rental company rents a luxury car at a daily rate of $37.51 plus $.25 per mile. Paul is allotted $120 for car rental each day. Write an equation to represent the cost C of renting a car and driving x miles. How many miles can Paul travel on the $120?

Answer 1

Answer: 385 miles

$76.99 = 7699 cents

7699/20 = 384.95 miles

So, the business man can travel

385 miles on the $120.
