Question

Renting a car costs $35.50 per day, plus 40¢ per mile. If a customer paid $131 for a 2-day rental, how many miles was the car driven?

Answer 1

Subtract the fee from the total:

131- 35.50 = 95.50

Now divide that by the price per mile:

95.50/ 0.40 = 238.75

They drove 238.74 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

150 miles. (Brainliest Please)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the answer by multiplying the rate per day by 2 because the customer rented it for 2 days and then finding out how many miles fit into the remaining amount of money.

$35.50 + $35.50 = $71

$131 - $71 = $60

60 ÷ 0.40 = 150

So the customer drove 150 miles using the rented vehicle.
