A moving van rents for $29.95 a day plus $.12/mi. Mmi. Ms Smiths bill for a two day rental was $70.46. how many miles did she drive

She drove 88 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = fee per day + cost per mile * miles driven

We know the total cost was 70.46

The fee per day was 29.95 * 2 = 59.90. She kept the van 2 days.

The cost per mile was. 12

Substitute in what we know

70.46 = 59.90 +.12 m

Subtract 59.90 from each side

70.46-59.90 = 59.90-59.90 +.12 m where m is the miles driven

10.56 =.12m

Divide each side by. 12

10.56/.12 =.12m/.12

88=m
