(3) (4) (13) (21)

Answer 1

Answer: Fewer than 4 days

Step-by-step explanation: He already spent $25 on gas and he will spend $100 each day. $25 + $100 x 3 = $325 and $325 is less than $415 there Starlin's trip will be fewer than 4 days long cause it was less than 3 day it would be much less and we should be trying to get as close to $415 as we can without going over the money limit. <3

Answer 2

Option B.

Explanation:

Let d represent the number of days for Starlin's trip.

It is given that Starlin's spend $25 on gas for his car and $100 each day on other expenses.

Total expenses of d days = 25 + 100d

If is given that Starlin's goal is to spend less than $415 on a trip. It means total expenses is less that $415.

`25+100d<415`

Subtract 25 on both sides.

`25+100d-25<415-25`

`100d<390`

Divide both sides by 100.

`d<3.9`

Starlin's trip must last fewer than 4 days. Therefore, the correct option is B.
