Answer:

She drove 88 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = fee per day + cost per mile * miles driven

We know the total cost was 70.46

The fee per day was 29.95 *2 =59.90. She kept the van 2 days.

The cost per mile was .12

Substitute in what we know

70.46 = 59.90 +.12 m

Subtract 59.90 from each side

70.46-59.90 = 59.90-59.90 +.12 m where m is the miles driven

10.56 = .12m

Divide each side by .12

10.56/.12 = .12m/.12

88=m
