Answer:
245 miles driven.
Step-by-step explanation:
A car rental company charges $10 a day and 17 cents per mile to rent their cars. 17 cents = 0.17 dollars
Let x be the number of miles and y be the number of days
total change =0.17x + 10y
Given total change is 61.65 and number of days = 2
plug in the values and find out the number of miles
61.65 = 0.17 x + 2(10)
61.65 = 0.17 x + 20
subtract 20 on both sides
41.65 = 0.17x
Divide by 0.17 on both sides
x = 245
245 miles driven.
