Answer:
The number of days is at most 5 days
= d ≤ 5 days
Step-by-step explanation:
A rental car company charges $31 per day to rent a car and $0.13 for every mile driven. Jocelyn wants to rent a car, knowing that:
She plans to drive 500 miles.
• She has at most $220 to spend.
At most means Less than or equal to $220
The inequality for expressing this = ≤
Hence, the inequality which can be used to determine d, the number of days Jocelyn can afford to rent while staying within her budget.
$31 × d + $0.13 × 500 miles ≤ $200
The inequality is given as:
31d + 65 ≤ 220
Solving further
31d ≤ 220 -65
31d ≤ 155
d ≤ 155/31
d ≤ 5
Therefore, the number of days is at most 5 days

Answer:
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the total cost of a notebook and pen together. We don't need to find their individual costs in order to answer the question.
Sometimes we get bored solving systems of equations in the usual ways. For this question, let's try this.
The first equation has one more notebook than pens. The second equation has 4 more notebooks than pens. If we subtract 4 times the first equation from the second, we should have equal numbers of notebooks and pens.
(8n +4p) -4(3n +2p) = (16.00) -4(6.50)
-4n -4p = -10.00 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
n + p = -10.00/-4 = 2.50 . . . . divide by the coefficient of (n+p)
The total cost for one notebook and one pen is $2.50.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The first equation has 1 more notebook than 2 (n+p) combinations, telling us that a notebook costs $6.50 -2(2.50) = $1.50. Then the pen is $2.50 -1.50 = $1.00.
One could solve for the costs of a notebook (n) and a pen (p) individually, then add them together to answer the question. We judge that to be more work.
