A company charges a 25 fee plus 1.15 per mile to tow a car A car is towed to a local repair shop and the owner is charged 48.00 How many miles was the car tiwed?

To find the number of miles the car was towed, we can set up the equation based on the company's charging structure. The total charge is $48.00, which includes a $25 fee plus $1.15 per mile. Subtracting the fee from the total gives us $48.00 - $25.00 = $23.00. Dividing this amount by the cost per mile, we have $23.00 / $1.15 = 20 miles. Therefore, the car was towed 20 miles.
