Question

A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $24.95 per day and $0.34 per mile.if brad rents this car for 3 days,how many whole miles can he drive on a $250 budget

Answer 1

We know that

• The cost for a car is $24.95 per day and $0.34 per mile.

,

• The budget is $250.

,

• He rents for 3 days.

Based on the given information, we can define the following equations.

`24.95d+0.34m=250`

Where d is days and m is miles. Replacing the number of days, we have.

`24.95(3)+0.34m=250`

Now, we solve for m.

`\begin{gathered} 74.85+0.34m=250 \\ 0.34m=250-74.85 \\ 0.34m=175.15 \\ m=(175.15)/(0.34)\approx515 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Brad can drive 515 whole miles.
