a car rental company charges a daily rate of $26 plus $0.10 per mile for a certain car. Suppose that you rent that car for a day and your bill (before taxes) is $71. How many miles did you drive?

Respuesta :

Answer: 450 miles

Step-by-step explanation: we can put the info we got from the question into an equation. since the car was only rented for a day, the daily rate that was paid was $26. and $0.10 for every mile the car was driven. So we can put into the equation 71 = 26 +0.10m, where m represents miles. Now subtract 26 from both sides and we get 45 = 0.10m. Divide both sides by 0.10 and we get m= 450
