Question 343344
the charge for a one-day rental of a car from Shurtz Car Rental Agency is $24 plus 15 cents for each mile driven. a.) If Jill drives 85 mi in one day, how much is the charge? b.) If a one-day rental cost Jill $42, how far did she drive? please answer it.


Total cost = Standard charge + .15 x total miles driven 


Jill's total cost = 24 + .15(85) = 24 + 12.75 = ${{{highlight_green(36.75)}}}


42 = 24 + .15(M), with M being the amount of miles driven on that day


42 = 24 + .15M


42 - 24 = .15M


18 = .15M


M, or miles driven = {{{18/.15}}} = {{{highlight_green(120)}}}
