Reuben hires a car. It costs £150, plus 85p for each mile he travels. When Reuben hires the car, its mileage is 27612 miles. When Reuben returns the car, its mileage is 28361 miles. How much did Reuben pay to hire the car?

Cost of hiring a car = £63,815

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of hiring a car = 150 + 85p

When Reuben hires the car, its mileage is 27612 miles. When Reuben returns the car, its mileage is 28361 miles.

Number of miles Reuben travelled = 28,361 miles - 27,612 miles

= 749 miles

Cost of hiring a car = 150 + 85p

= 150 + 85(749)

= 150 + 63,665

= 63,815

Cost of hiring a car = £63,815

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you

first one because it can't have a fraction in it
