Question

Luca pays $165 per month for his car loan and an average of $2.30 per gallon of gas. He wants to keep his car expenses under $300 per month. Write and solve an inequality to find the greatest number of gallon "g", Luca can drive in a month while staying within his budget?

Answer 1

58.69 gallons is the maximum she can get.

Step-by-step explanation:

165 + 2.3g ≤ 300

subtract 165 from both sides

2.3g ≤ 135

divide by 2.3 on both sides

g ≤ 58.6956521739
