Question

Write and solve an equation for the given situation. Alan rented a car while on vacation in Florida. He was charged a one-time fee of $43 as well as $1.10 for each mile driven. If his final bill was $111.20, how many miles did he drive?

Answer 1

He payed $43 to get the car so you need to do $111.20 -$43 = $68.20 then he pays $1.10 for every mile he drives so you need to decide $68.20 by$1.10 to get 62 so he drives 62 miles
