Question

Value rent a car rents a luxury car at a daily rate of $37.49 plus 20 cents per mile. A business person is allotted $130 for car rental each day. How many miles can the business person travel on the $130?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the allocated budget of $130 , the business person can travel 462.55 miles a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The daily rate of car service = $37.49

Cost per mile of the car   = 20 cents   = $ 0.20

Total allocated budget  for each day  = $130

Now, out of the total budget :

The actual travelling budget  = Total Budget  - Daily car rate

                                                =  $130  -  $37.49  

                                                =   $92.51

So, the actual travelling budget each day = $92.41

Now, $\textrm{Number of total miles traveled } = \frac{\textrm{Actual traveling budget}}{\textrm{Rate per mile }}$

= $\frac{92.51}{0.20} = 462.55$

or, the number of miles traveled  = 462.55 miles

Hence, in the  allocated budget of $130 , the business person can travel 462.55 miles a day.
