Answer:

750 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Daily\ Charge = \$25[/tex]

[tex]Per\ Mile = \$0.32[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$265[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of miles

Represent the number of miles with m

So, we have:

[tex]Total = 25 + 0.32 * m[/tex]

[tex]265 = 25 + 0.32 * m[/tex]

[tex]265 = 25 + 0.32m[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]0.32m = 265 - 25[/tex]

[tex]0.32m = 240[/tex]

Solve for m

[tex]m = 240/0.32[/tex]

[tex]m = 750[/tex]

Hence, I travelled 750 miles
