Question

The cost of renting a car is $49.99 per day, plus $0.26 per mile. John rents a car for 5 days and is charged $270.23. How many miles did John drive the car?

Answer 1

78 miles

Explanation:

Multiply 49.99 by 5 since it per day and he did it for 5 days which will equal 249.99

270.23 minus 249.99 since there is only 2 factors to the sum which is the miles driven and money per day, 20.24

20.24/ 0.26-----> 77.8 miles round it to 78
