Mike rents a car for a total of £445 the rental changes are £145 for the first day and £60 per day after that for how many days did mike rent the car show your working out

Mike will rent the car for 6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mike rents a car for n days.

It is given in the question that for the first day rental of the car was  £445.

So the days left in n days after first day rental = (n - 1)

For (n - 1) days rental will be =  £60(n - 1)

Total rental including first day rental =  £145 +  £60(n - 1)

Now the equation representing the total fare will be

445 = 145 + 60(n - 1)

445 - 145 = 60(n - 1)

300 = 60(n - 1)

n - 1 =

n = 1 + 5

n = 6 days

Therefore, Mike will rent the car for 6 days.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
