• B. $26$
• C. $104$
• D. $584$
• E. $824$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$104$

Total amount charged $=206.00$.

Rent per day $=60.0$.

So for three days, rent will be $=3\times 60.0=180.0$

Cost per mile is $=0.25$ per mile.

The remaining amount is charged due to number of miles he drove. so amount charge will be $=206-180=26$

$\Rightarrow 0.25\times$ number of miles he drove$=26$

$\Rightarrow$ Number of miles $=\frac{26}{0.25}=104$
