PROBLEM

Jason drove 435.75 miles over three months. If June was 127.35 and July was 167.98, find August's mileage: ??

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total distance driven by Jason over three months is435.75 miles.
. The distance driven in June is127.35 miles.
3. The distance driven in July is167.98 miles.
4. The distance driven in August is unknown.

STEP 2

We need to find the distance driven in August. We can do this by subtracting the distances driven in June and July from the total distance.
DistanceAugust=TotaldistanceDistanceJuneDistanceJulyDistance_{August} = Total\, distance - Distance_{June} - Distance_{July}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total distance, the distance in June, and the distance in July to calculate the distance in August.
DistanceAugust=435.75miles127.35miles167.98milesDistance_{August} =435.75\, miles -127.35\, miles -167.98\, miles

SOLUTION

Calculate the distance driven in August.
DistanceAugust=435.75miles127.35miles167.98miles=140.42milesDistance_{August} =435.75\, miles -127.35\, miles -167.98\, miles =140.42\, milesJason drove140.42 miles in August.
