Question

A truck rental company rents a truck for a one-time fee of $25 plus $1.50 per mile traveled. Kelly has $80 she can spend on the rental truck. Written as a fraction, what is the greatest number of miles that she can travel?

Answer 1

The greatest number of miles that she can travel is 36(2/3) miles

Explanation:

m=miles

25+1.50m ≤ 80

1.5 m ≤ 55

m ≤ 36.66666......

m ≤ 36 (6/9)

m ≤ 36(2/3)
