Answer:

475 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for this Equation given to us already in the question:

m = number of miles travelled

0.07m + 35 = $68.25.

0.07m + 35 = 68.25

Collect like terms

0.07 m = 68.25 - 35

0.07m = 33.25

m = 33.25 / 0.07

m = 475 miles

Therefore, the number of miles he travelled = 475 miles
