Sagot :
Answer:
$36 per day plus $0.22 per mile
Step-by-step explanation:
For Ben,
Total miles driven = 550 miles
Number of days = 6 days
Total cost = $337
For Lisa
Total miles driven = 350 miles
Number of days = 3 days
Total cost = $185
Solving Simultaneously;
6d + 550m = 337
3d + 350 m = 185
Multiply equation 2 by 2 we have
6d + 550m = 337 ----1
6d + 700m = 370------2
So;
Subtracting equation 1 from equation 2
150m = 33
m = 33/150
m = $0.22
Substitute m=0.22 into equation 1
6d + 550(0.22) = 337
6d + 121 = 337
6d = 337 - 121
6d = 216
d = 216/6
d = $36
Hence the charge is $36 per day plus $0.22 per mile
