Question

Whats the answer? Ben rents a car for one day. The charge is $20 plus the $0.12 per mile. He wants to spend exactly $80. How many miles can he drive?

Answers

  1. Answer:
    Ben can drive 500 miles.
    Step-by-step explanation:
    1. You already know that Ben wants to spend $80 exact and he already has to pay $20 so $80 – $20 = $60
    2. you also know that every mile Ben drives is $0.12 so you can divide $60 by $0.12 so $60 ÷ $0.12 = 500.
    So Ben can drive 500 miles if he wants to spend exactly $80
