Question

A rental car company charges $51 per day to rent a car and $0.14 for every mile driven. Damian wants to rent a car, knowing that: He plans to drive 250 miles. He has at most $290 to spend. Use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing dd, the total number of days Damian can rent the car while staying within his budget.

Answer 1

Answer: Damian can rent the car for 5 days.

Explanation:

Money for 250 miles driven - 0.14*250= 35

Day 1 - 35+51= 86

Day 2 - 86+51= 137

Day 3 - 137+51= 188

Day 4 - 188+51= 239

Day 5 - 239+51= $290
