Question

A rental car company charges $37. 50 per day to rent a car and $0. 05 for every mile driven. Alyssa wants to rent a car, knowing that: she plans to drive 100 miles. She has at most $200 to spend. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of days alyssa can afford to rent while staying within her budget

Answer 1

Answer: 4 Days

Explanation:

To drive a 100 miles you would do 0.05*100=5

it cost 37.50 everyday and if you add the 5.00 it would cost to drive the 100 miles you get 42.50-200=157.50

37.50*4=150+42.50=192.50

she could rent the car for 4 days
