ps. The maximum charge is $45.00 per day plus $0.40 per mile. Discounts apply when renting for longer periods of time or during off-peak seasons. Write a linear inequality that models the total cost of the daily rental c(m) as a function of the total miles driven, m.
A linear inequality involves a linear function. It contains one of the symbols of inequality. It exactly looks like a linear equation,with the inequality sign replacing the equality sign.
According to the statement Nancy has negotiated a special rate and the maximum charge is $45.00 per day with the addition of $ 0.40 per mile.
So,
a linear inequality that models the total cost of the daily rental as a function of the total miles driven,m is:
