Question

for her vacation, Maria rents a car for $60 a week plus $0.25 pee mile. How many miles can she drive if she wants to spend at most $250 for the week on the rental

Answer 1

Price = $60 per week + $0.25 per mile

She rents the car during 1 week and the final price is $250, therefore we can write the following equation

$250=60+0.25\cdot D$

Where, D is the distance she can drive

Now, let's solve for D

$\begin{gathered} 250-60=0.25D \\ \frac{250-60}{0.25}=D \\ \end{gathered}$$D=\frac{190}{0.25}$$D=760$

In conclusion, Maria can drive 760 miles
