Answer:

The written inequality can be written as 0.12x + 25 <= 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality you would plug in the 125 miles for x so 0.12(125) + 25 <= 150 0.12(125) would equal 15 so 15 + 25 <= 150 150/40 would equal 3.75 days but you cant have .75 of a day so Violet would have three days max to afford to rent the car while staying in her budget.
