Question

A rental car company charges $42.72 per day to rent a car and $0.10 for every mile driven. Zoey wants to rent a car, knowing that:
She plans to drive 200 miles.
She has at most $350 to spend.

Which inequality can be used to determine xx, the maximum number of days Zoey can afford to rent for while staying within her budget?

Answer 1

Answer:

7 Days

Step-by-step explanation:

Miles cost:

$0.10 * 200 = $20

Daily Cost

Her budget at this point is $330 because $350 - $20 (the miles)

$330 / 42.72  = Roughly 7.72

Therefore Zoey can drive for 7 days before her budget runs out.
