Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3D+300M=111 MULTIPLY BY 2
5D+600M=207 MULTIPLY BY -1 & ADD
6D+600M=222
-5D-600M=-207
----------------
D=$13 PER DAY
3*15+300M=111
45+300M=111
300M=111-45
300M=66
M=66/300
M=$.22 PER MILE.
PROOF:
5*15+600*.22=207
75+132=207
207=207
