Question

A car rental agency charges a base fee of $50 plus an additional charge of $0.40 for every mile driven. The total charge, c, is given by the equation. c = 50 + 0.40m, where m represents the miles driven. When Mr. Sims rented a car, his total charge was $178.00. How many miles did Mr. Sims drive the car? *

Answer 1

Answer:

320 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

c=178

subtract the base fee of 50 from c- you get 128

Divide 128 by the 0.40 rate to get m by itself

m then equals 320
