Answer:
Max is 4 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
An inequality is a math statement with more the one solution. The solution has a range of values for which the inequality can be satisfied. It has the same following components as an equation: variables and operations. However, the equal sign is replaced by an inequality sign: .
We start by choosing a variable for an unknown value. Here is it the number of days he rents the car. We choose d.
We know he rents it for $21 pr day or 21d for any number of days. We also know her will drive 250 miles at $0.10 per mile or 0.10(250). We will combine the two into an expression.
21d + 0.10(250)
We know his limit is $115. This means he can rent the car for any number of days until he reaches $115. The charge must be less than or equal to 115.
So we write .
To find the number of days he can rent the car, we solve for d using inverse operations.
This means Jim can rent the car up to 4 days. The 5th day will put the cost over $115.
