Question 889704: A car rental company charges $19..95 a day plus 12 cents per mile for every mile over 100 miles driven per day. If Mr. Woos' bill for 2 days is $46.96 , find how many miles he drove
Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Total bill = $46.96
Base cost for 2 days = $19.95 + $19.95 ($39.90)
$46.96 - $39.90 = $7.06 in mileage
$7.06 / 12 = 58.83 miles over
The first 100 * 2 miles were free with the daily charge.
He drove 258.83 miles in 2 days.
