Question

A car rental company charges a base fee of $30 per day to rent a car, along with an additional $0.18 per mile driven. If George wants to spend less than $55 one a one-day car rental, write an inequality to represents the number of miles (m) that George can drive that day?

Answer 1

George's cost per day is

... c = 30 + 0.18m

We want c < 55, so we can write

... 30 + 0.18m < 55 . . . . . your inequality

_____

Here is the solution to the inequality

... 0.18m < 25

... m < 25/0.18

... m < 138.9

George must drive less than 138.9 miles that day.

Answer 2

Answer:

30 + 0.18m < 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Base fee = $30

Additional charge = $0.18 per mile.

George wants to spend less than $55.

m is the number of miles George can drive.

Total cost per day = base fee + 0.18 times m

30 + 0.18m

George want to spend less than$55

Less than represented by the inequality "<"

Therefore, the inequality is

30 + 0.18m < 55

If we want to find the number of miles that George can drive, we have to solve inequality.

But the question was just asked to write the inequality.

So, the answer is 30 + 0.18m < 55
