Answer 1

Answer:

339 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $27.95 per day and 0.26$ per mile.

If Trevor rents this car for 4 days.

Question asked:

How many whole miles can he drive on a $200 budget?

Solution:

Total budget = $200

Trevor rents car for number of days = 4

As a car rental agency renting a car for $27.95 per day fixed charge, so Trevor must pay = Fixed charge per day $\times$ number of days rented for

                            = $27.95 $\times$ 4

                            = $111.8

Remaining amount = $200 -  $111.8 = $88.2

Now, to find number of miles he can travel, we will divide remaining amount by amount charged per mile

$88.2 $\div$ $0.26 = 339.23 miles

Therefore, he can drive 339 miles on a $200 budget
