a car rents for $35 per day plus .22 per mile. You are on a daily budget of $90. what mileage will allow you to stay within your budget?
Would the correct answer be 1.6?
The number of miles you could drive would be 250 miles.
Are you sure you can only drive 1.6 miles to stay under your budget???
First, subtract: $90 - $35 = $55
Next, divide: $55 / $0.22 = ?
We'll be glad to check your answer.
that is correct
The cost to rent a car is $38 a day plus $0.18 per mile
the car is driven. Find how many miles the car was driven if it was
its 250
1.6 ????
your budget is $90, the car rents outright for $35.
That leaves you with $55 for "mileage".
at .22 per mile (I assume that is dollars?) you could go 55/.22 or 250 miles.
Check: 250 miles @ $.22/mile = 55.00
car rental = 35%
total = 90 dollars
