Answer:
167 miles without the cost of the rental
Explanation:
Daniela needs to rent a car while on vacation. The rental company charges $19.95, plus 18 cents for each mile driven. If Daniela only has $50 to spend on the car rental, what is the maximum number of miles she can drive? Round your answer to the nearest mile.
equation: where m = miles driven
50 = 0.18m + 19.95
subtract 19.95 from both sides:
50 - 19.95= 0.18m + 19.95 - 19.95
30.05 = 0.18m
divide both sides by 0.18:
30.05/0.18 = 0.18m/0.18
m = 166.9444
rounded: 167 miles without the cost of the rental
