Xavier Turner - 29.02.2016 10:13Good Day. 490 miles. Because the cost was above 70 dollars, he drove more than 130 miles. 0.25 for 1 mile means 1 dollar for 4 miles. You can see that other than the 70 dollars, 28 dollars were spent, multiplied by 4 is 112 miles. 130 miles plus 112 miles = 242 miles.
