Question

You rented a car on vacation to go sightseeing for a day. You had to pay $50 for the day and $.15 per mile, along with $35 for gas. If you paid $122.50, how many miles did you drive?

Answer 1

The number of miles for which the car has been driven if one paid $122.50 as in the task content is; 2.5 miles.

For how many miles was the car driven?

It follows from the task content that the total amount paid was; $122.50.

Hence, after subtraction the constant charges, for the day and for gas, the remainder is;

$122.50 - $50 - $35

= $37.50.

Ultimately, if the charge per mile is $15, then the number of miles driven is; $37.50/$15

= 2.5 miles.
