[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you want mileage for 7 miles (times 5 days a week) over $175?  35 weekly miles is around $18 or so.

There must be more that you aren't sharing.  Otherwise, why would you possibly want $18 over $175?![/quote]

I read it as 7 miles each way, which would mean 14 miles. OP never said how many hours she is working, how many different activities she'd be driving to, etc. Tons of info missing[/quote]

She said 25 hours per week.

It's easy to see that the higher wage is a better deal based even on the limited information we have.  If she drives the kids to a different activity every hour (25 total activities), and drives 7 miles from each destination to the next (home to first activity, 7 miles from first activity to second activity, and so on), that's only going to get her to 180-210 miles, or so (depending on the number of days she works).  210 miles times 0.535 is $112 and change.  The difference in fees is $175/week.  She would need to drive more than 300 miles to make up the difference between the two rates - and that is only possible if she is working more than 25 hours (which she isn't), is driving to a different activity every hour (which we all know isn't happening), and is driving more than 7 miles to each of those 25 activities (again, which we know isn't happening).[/quote]
