Question

How do I solve this and what’s the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mike can go 124 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Car rent = $29.20

However, a customer has to pay $0.20 for every mile.

Mike has $54 to spend on the car for a day.

If he pays the car rent which is $29.20, then he has

$54 - $29.20 = $24.80 remaining

1 mile = $0.20

x miles = $24.80

By cross multiplication

0.20x = 1 * 24.80

x = 24.80/0.20

x = 124 miles
