Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total distance Marcus drives for work is the sum of the distances from the motel to the restaurant and from the restaurant to home, which is 12 miles + 8 miles = 20 miles. However, the commute from home to his first job (Midnight Motel) is generally not deductible for tax purposes, so the correct answer is 20 miles, which is not explicitly listed among the options provided. Given the choices, the closest correct option listed is 12 miles, which only accounts for one segment of his work-related travel. This seems to be a mistake in the question or answer choices, as none of them accurately represent the total deductible distance based on the typical tax guidelines.
