Question

A rental car company charges $23.95 per day to rent a car and $0.08 for every mile driven. Nathan wants to rent a car, knowing that:
He plans to drive 400 miles.

He has at most $440 to spend.


Which inequality can be used to determine x, the maximum number of days Nathan can afford to rent for while staying within his budget?

Answer 1

Answer:

$23.95x + $32 ≤ $440

Step-by-step explanation:

x ≤ ($440 - 400($0.08)) / $23.95

Which can be reduced to

x ≤ ($440 - 32) / $23.95

and rearranged

$23.95x ≤ ($440 - $32)

$23.95x + $32 ≤ $440

where x is an integer.
