Question

The cost of a car rental is ​$30 per day plus per mile. You are on a daily budget of ​$75. Write and solve an inequality to find the greatest distance you can drive each day while staying within your budget. Use pencil and paper. Find 2 other​ two-step inequalities with the same solutions.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

2. 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rental cost = $30

Cost per mile driven = 18 cent

Daily budget = $75

Greatest distance you can drive each day while staying within budget :

Rental cost + (cost per mile driven * distance) ≤ daily budget

$30 + 18d ≤ $75

18d ≤ 75 - 30

18d ≤ 45

d ≤ 45 / 18

d ≤ 2.5

Greatest distance you can drive each day while staying within budget is 2.5 miles.
