Problema Solution
A rental company charges $55 a day and 30 cents a mile for renting a truck. Michael rents a truck for 2 days, and his bill comes to $119. How many miles did he drive?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' be the number of miles that Michael rents
the fixed money paid by day $55 for 2 days + the money paid for x miles
2*55 + 0.30*x = 119
since 30 cents = $0.30
by solving the equation we find
x = 30 miles
