Marie earned $0.75 for every mile she walked in a charity walkathon. If she earned a total of $18.00 at that rate, how many miles did she walk?

A. 13.5
B. 17.5
C. 21
D. 22.5
E. 24


Marie earned $0.75 for every 1 mile.

Her total earning - $18

Hence, the miles she walked = 18/0.75 = 18*100/75 = 24 miles


Answer E.



Thanks,

Marie walked a total of 18/(0.75) = 24 miles.

Alternate Solution:

We are given that Marie earns $0.75 PER MILE. Since rate x miles = total dollars, we can create the following equation to determine the number of miles walked.

0.75 x miles = 18

miles = 18/0.75

miles = 18/(3/4)

miles = 18 x 4/3 = 24
