Question

The cost of renting a car is $55/wk plus $0.25/mi traveled during that week. An equation to represent the cost would be y = 55+ 0.25, where x is the number of miles traveled,

Suppose you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental. What would be the maximum number of miles you could travel?

Answer 1

180 miles

Explanation:

55+0.25x= 100

0.25x= 100-55= 45

x= 45/0.25 =180 miles
