Question

The total cost (c) in dollars of renting a car for n days is given by the inequality LaTeX: c\ge125+50nc ≥ 125 + 50 n. What is the maximum number of days for which a car could be rented if the total cost was $425?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expression of the total cost (c) in dollars of renting a car for n days as c ≥ 125 + 50n

To get the maximum number of days for which a car could be rented if the total cost was $425, substitute c = 425 into the expression and find n

425 ≥ 125 + 50n

Subtract 125 from both sides

425 - 125 ≥ 125 + 50n  - 125

300≥ 50n

Divide both sides by 50

300/50≥50n/50

6 ≥n

Rearrange

n≤6

Hence the maximum number of days for which a car could be rented if the total cost was $425 is 6days
