Answer
She drove 700 miles during the 3-day period.
Work Step by Step
Let X represent the number of miles she drove during the 3-day period.
The agency charges 25 dollars per day, so she paid 3 $\times$ 25 = 75 dollars.
Also, the agency charges 0.20 per mile. Since she drove X miles, she paid 0.20 $\times$ X = 0.20X.
The total amount she paid was 215 dollars.
We set up the following equation:
75 + 0.20X = 215
0.20X = 140
Divide both sides by 0.20.
X = 700.
She drove 700 miles during the 3-day period.
