Question

Someone please help I suck at word problems!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

A maximum of 350 miles can be driven.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent of the car for a day = $75

Cost for per mile = $0.50

Let the total miles driven be = x

So, if the trip will last 3 days and the traveler can spend no more than $400, the equation can be formed as:

$(75\times3)+0.50x\leq 400$

$225+0.50x \leq400$

$0.50x \leq400-225$

$0.50x \leq175$

We get $x\leq 350$ miles

So, a maximum of 350 miles can be driven.

Answer 2

(75x3)+0.50x=400
225+ 0.50x=400
-225. -225
0.50x=175

X=350 miles
