A 40 mile boat ride costs a group of people $405. To rent that same boat for a 100 mile

trip costs $855. How much does it cost for each mile?

There has to be more to the questions, but I’ll give you what I came up with...

Answer: 40 mile- $10.125; 100 mile- $8.55

Step By Step: Divide your cost by the amount of miles for each part. $405/40 and then $855/100.
