31) a car rental company charges $25 per day plus $0.20 per mile. if a customer pays $65, how many miles did they drive if they rented the car for 2 days?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the cost for 2 days

The cost per day is $25. For 2 days, the cost is (25\times2 = 50) dollars.

Step2: Find the cost for miles driven

The total payment is $365. Subtract the cost for 2 days from the total payment to get the cost for miles. So, (365 - 50=315) dollars.

Step3: Calculate the number of miles

The cost per mile is $0.20. Let the number of miles be (m). We know that (0.20m = 315). Solving for (m), we get (m=\frac{315}{0.20}=1575) miles.

Answer:

1575 miles
