Question

A car rental company charges a daily rate of $ 27 plus $ 0.1 per mile for a certain car. Suppose that you rent that car for a day and your bill (before taxes) is $ 45.5. How many miles did you drive? Give your answer to the nearest whole mile. miles

Answer 1

185 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation, the calculation of mile is shown below:-

Assume drive = x miles

Total bill incurred = ($27 + 0.1 x) = $45.5

Now we will solve the above equation:

0.10x = $45.5 - $27

0.10x= 18.5

x = 18.5 ÷ 0.10

x = 185 miles.

So, the correct answer is 185 miles.
