Question

You want to rent a limousine for a trip to the city. The limo costs $700 for the night and $0.15 per mile. You have $750 to spend. Write an inequality that represents this scenario. How many miles can the limo travel?

Answer 1

First, subtract 700 from both sides and you are left with .15m≤50
Then divide both sides by .15 and you are left with m ≤ 333.33.  Thus, the limo can only travel 333.33 miles.
