Carl’s cost for his truck was $142.78 for 209 miles. Which equation can be used to represent the cost of the rental truck?
Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

Bob: 112.96 divided by 138=0.81855072463

so about 82 cents per mile

Carl: 142.78 divided by 209=0.68315789473

so about 68 cents per mile
