3.2 can be written as 3 and 0.2 on the top of area model.
Area of the four parts of the area model are:
The complete area model is shown below.
After adding all areas of the area model, we get
Therefore, the value of is 6.72 and the missing values of the area model are 0.3 and 0.02 respectively.
You must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Two payment options to rent a car
Let "x" be the number of miles driven in one day
<em><u>You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A)</u></em>
25 cents is equal to 0.25 dollars
OPTION A : 20 + 0.25x
<em><u>You pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B)</u></em>
50 cents equal to 0.50 dollars
Option B: 10 + 0.50x
<em><u>For what amount of daily miles will option A be the cheaper plan ?</u></em>
For option A to be cheaper, Option A must be less than option B
Option A < Option B
Solve the inequality
Add -0.50x on both sides
Add - 20 on both sides,
Divide both sides by 0.25
Thus you must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
