Question

PLEASE HELP MEE TwT The rate to rent a small moving van is $30 per day, plus $0.50 per mile. Jada rented a van to drive to her new home. It took 2 days, and the van cost $360. How many miles did she drive?

Answer 1

Explanation:

so Jada for 1 day, gets charged $30 flat

now, she drove 2 days, so...she's charged 2 * 30 or 60 bucks

plus the mileage

is 0.5 per mile.... so... 1 mile is 0.5

2 miles 2 * 0.5

3 miles 3 * 0.5

4 miles 4 * 0.5

5 miles 5 * 0.5

x miles x * 0.5

she drove "x" miles, whatever that is

we also know, her total cost in the end, was 360

so... those 360 include the 2 days charge, 30 * 2

plus the mileage, x * 0.5 or 0.5x

so... one can say that

360 = (30 * 2) + 0.5x <---- solve for "x"

Answer 2

150, I believe.

Explanation:

If it takes about 30 dollars a day, that would be $60 for 2 days.

The mile expenses should be $300, right? If this is true, we should be able to do: $0.50 * 300.

The answer is 150.
