Question

you decided to take a three day road trip and rented a car. it costs $117 per day. this price includes 200 miles. if you drive over 200 miles, you will have to pay an additional .22 per mile. total cost for the car was $373. how many additional miles did you drive?

Answer 1

Since the car costs $117 a day and you are going on a three day road trip, then you would do 117 x 3 = 351.

Subtract 351 from the total cost 373 - 351 = 22

To find out how many additional miles you drove, 22/0.22 = 100

So you drove 100 additional miles.
