Question

A rental car company charges $80 per day to rent a car and $0.10 for every mile driven. Alyssa wants to rent a car, knowing that: She plans to drive 150 miles. She has at most $300 to spend. Which inequality can be used to determine xx, the maximum number of days Alyssa can afford to rent for while staying within her budget?

Answer 1

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

Car A costs 80d + 0.25m, where d is days and m is miles. Car B costs 100d + 0.10m. If you plug in 3 for d and make the equations equal, you get 240 + 0.25m = 300 + 0.10m. Combining like terms gives you 0.15m = 60, and dividing gives you m = 400.
