Answer:

750 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Daily\ Charge = \$25$

$Per\ Mile = \$0.32$

$Total = \$265$

Required

Determine the number of miles

Represent the number of miles with m

So, we have:

$Total = 25 + 0.32 * m$

$265 = 25 + 0.32 * m$

$265 = 25 + 0.32m$

Collect Like Terms

$0.32m = 265 - 25$

$0.32m = 240$

Solve for m

$m = 240/0.32$

$m = 750$

<em>Hence, I travelled 750 miles</em>
