A rental car company charges $52 per day and $0.32 per mile to rent a car. Mr. Misel was charged $202.40 for a 3-day rental. Write and solve a equation to determine how many miles she drove.

First you would subtract $52 from it for every day. She had it for 3 days, which means you can multiply 52 by 3 (which equals $156) and subtract it from 202.40. That makes $46.40 left. You then divide the remaining numbers by 0.32, giving you a total of 145 miles driven.
