Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

The range of rental car rates that would be cheaper for Jamal than the taxi service is given by,
A ={x| 0 ≤ x < 26} [where x is in dollar]

Let, the car rental rate be $ x per day .
Jamal's trip will last for 4 day.
He expects to pay $ 24 for gas (if he rents the car)
He expects a taxi service would cost about $ 128
So, for the rental car option to be cheaper than the taxi option, the following inequality must follow,
128 > 24 + 4x
⇒ 4x < 104
⇒ x < 26
So, the range of rental car rates that would be cheaper for Jamal than the taxi service is given by,
A ={x| 0 ≤ x < 26} [where x is in dollar]
