Question

A rental car company charges $40 per day to rent a car and $0.08 for every mile driven. Justin wants to rent a car, knowing that:

He plans to drive 125 miles.
He has at most $170 to spend.

Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of days Justin can afford to rent while staying within his budget.

Answer 1

He will only afford to rent the car for 4 days, he will spend 160 dolars to just have the car for 4 days. Since he plan to drive 125 miles, the cost for the miles will be 10 dolars. So if we add 160 (4 days with the car) plus 10 (for the miles) it would give 170.
