Maxine needs to rent a car for a week. She has $500 to cover the rental. If the car costs $45 a day and $0.25 a mile, how many miles can she drive for $500?

220 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1 week=7 days

So  that means $35*7=245

300-245=55

$55/.25= 220 miles

2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need is how many miles Maxine can drive for 500 dollars, so you can disregard the 45 dollar charge. you would just do $500 divided by $0.25, which gets you 2,000.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
