Question

A rental car company charges $25 per day to rent a car and $0.12 for every mile driven. Violet wants to rent a car, knowing that:

She plans to drive 125 miles.

She has at most $150 to spend.

pls help

Answer 1

Explanation:

Identify the cost of 125 miles;

`125 * 0.12 = 15`

$15 for 125 miles.

Subtract 150 and 15;

`150 - 15 = 135`

(Money remaining)

Divide 135 by 25 to identify how many days she can rent the car;

`135 / 25 = 5 (2)/(5)`

5 2/5 decreases to 5 as you can't rent a car for 5 2/5 days.

Answer: She can drive 125 miles and rent the car for 5 days.
