Abby rented a car to travel for the weekend. she paid a flat rate of $24.95 plus $0.32 per mile. for how many miles did abby drive the car if she paid $76.82 for the car rental?

Abby has driven approximately 162 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total paid amount = $76.82

Fixed charge = $24.95

Charge of each mile = $0.32

Solution,

Let the number of miles Abby drive the car be'x'.

So, the total amount paid by Abby is the sum of fixed charge and number of miles driven multiplied with charge of each mile.

So framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

Total paid amount = Fixed charge + Number of miles × Charge of each mile

On substituting the given values, we get;

By using the subtraction property, we will subtract '24.95' on both side and get;

By using the division property, we will divide by '0.32' on both side and get;

Hence Abby has driven approximately 162 miles.

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
