Question

A rental car company charges $55.98 per day to rent a car and $0.14 for every

mile driven. Joseph wants to rent a car, knowing that:
• He plans to drive 375 miles.
• He has at most $300 to spend.
What is the maximum number of days that Joseph can rent the car while
staying within his budget?

Answer 1

4 days

Explanation:

0.14 × 375= $52.50

$300-52.50=247.50

247.50 ÷55.98= 4.42122186495

round 4.42122186495 to the nearest whole that won't go over 300 and its 4 at $223.92 and the if you add your 52.50 thats $276.42
