Answer:
The number of days is at most 5 days
= d ≤ 5 days
Explanation:
A rental car company charges $31 per day to rent a car and $0.13 for every mile driven. Jocelyn wants to rent a car, knowing that:
She plans to drive 500 miles.
• She has at most $220 to spend.
At most means Less than or equal to $220
The inequality for expressing this = ≤
Hence, the inequality which can be used to determine d, the number of days Jocelyn can afford to rent while staying within her budget.
$31 × d + $0.13 × 500 miles ≤ $200
The inequality is given as:
31d + 65 ≤ 220
Solving further
31d ≤ 220 -65
31d ≤ 155
d ≤ 155/31
d ≤ 5
Therefore, the number of days is at most 5 days
