Tom's puts 30 miles per day on his bike for the first 183 days of the year. For the rest of the days of the year he goes 35 miles per day. How many miles does he drive for the year?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
For the first 183 days he drives 183 * 30 = 5490 miles. There are 365 - 183 = 182 days left in the year. He drives 35 * 182 = 6370 for those days. So in total he drives 5490 + 6370 = 11,860.
Thus, the answer is 11860.
