Answer:
The number of miles Lori drive be 134 miles .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the number of miles Lori be x.
As given
Lori rented a car for one day.
The daily rental rate was $12.50 plus 25 cents per mile.
As 1 dollar = 100 cent
[tex]1\ cent = \frac{1}{100}\ dollar[/tex]
[tex]25\ cent = \frac{25}{100}\ dollar[/tex]
[tex]25\ cent = 0.25\ dollar[/tex]
As given
The total cost of her rental was $46.
Than the equation becomes
46 = 12.50 + 0.25x
46 - 12.50 = 0.25x
33.5 = 0.25x
[tex]x = \frac{33.5}{0.25}[/tex]
x = 134 miles
Therefore the number of miles Lori drive be 134 miles .
