Equation
2/3 = 14/ x
Cross multiply
2xX = 14x3
2x = 42
Eliminate
2x/2 = 42/2
X = 21
Q + d = 16....q = 16 - d
0.25q + 0.10d = 3.10
0.25(16 - d) + 0.10d = 3.10
4 - 0.25d + 0.10d = 3.10
-0.25d + 0.10d = 3.10 - 4
-0.15d = -0.90
d = -0.90/-0.15
d = 6...dimes
q + d = 16
q + 6 = 16
q = 16 - 6
q = 10...quarters
so there are (10 - 6) = 4 more quarters then dimes
I just worked out the problem twice and got -4.5 both times.
Answer:
40 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You would have to start by doing $120 - $96 for the per-day fee, which leaves Calvin with $24 to spend on miles.
Next you would do $24 ÷ $0.60 to find the number of miles he can drive, which is 40 miles.
