The cost of a daily rental car is as follows: The initial fee is $39.99 for the car, and it costs $0.20 per mile. If Julie's final bill was $100.00 before taxes, how many miles did she drive?

300.05 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

initial fee= $39.99

final bill = $ 100

cost =$ 0.20 per mile

remaining amount = $ 60.01

solution,

she drive = remaining amount / cost

=60.01/0.20

=300.05 miles

500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use cross multiplication to find the unknown amount.

Given:

1) Cost for 1 mile=$0.20

2)Cost for x miles=$100

Solution:

No of miles                             Cost

1) 1                                             $0.20

2)x                                             $100

By cross multiplying,

100 x 1= 0.20x

x=100/0.20

x=500 miles
