answer: 86

deducting the price for the day; 41.50 - 20.00 = 21.50

next, dividing the new quotient; 21.50/0.25 = 86

we divide by 0.25 because the cost is 0.25 per mile and the total is 21.50 (without 20$ for the rent per day)

Answer:

86 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming they rented the car for one day, we'll subtract the $20 fee.

41.50-21= 21.50

Since it's $0.25 per mile, we then divide by .25

21.50/0.25 = 86

This means they travelled 86 miles.
