Question

You are renting a moving truck for a day. There is a daily fee of $20 and a charge of $0.75 per mile. Your budget alloes a maximum total cost of $65. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number of miles you can drive a truck

Answer 1

The total payment per day $20 + $0.75 = $20.75
20.75n≤65 where n - the number ofmiles
n≤65/20.75
n≤ 3 + R where 0 < R < 1
So we can drive maximum 3 miles on the truck(because n - integer)
