Question

A car rental cost $80 per day, for the first 250 miles, plus $0.20 for each additional mile. If Sonya's rental cost was $124 for one-day rental, how many miles did she drive?

Answer 1

I hope this helps you

Answer 2

Well, 80 dollars is the price originally, so that 80 is by its self. Now we see that its 0.2 ever mile after so lets do the math.

The equation would be $80 + $0.2x = 124

Do the math, subtract 80 from both sides

0.2x = 44

No divide by 0.2

x= 220

since the first $80 is 250 miles what would the rest be? well since you did the math and got x = 220 that means after you have 220 addition miles. Add the two up :) 220+250= 470 :D
