Question

A rental car company charges $80 per day to rent a car and $0.10 for every mile driven. Alyssa wants to rent a car, knowing that: She plans to drive 150 miles. She has at most $300 to spend. Which inequality can be used to determine xx, the maximum number of days Alyssa can afford to rent for while staying within her budget?Geq30080x+15≥300 15x+80\leq30015x+80≤300 80x+15\leq30080x+15≤300 15x+80\geq30015x+80≥300

Answer 1

Multiply the number of days (x) by the amount per day (80) to get 80x.

She is driving 150 miles at 0.10 per mile so multiply to get the mileage cost: 150 x 0.10 = 15

Add this to the daily amount:

80x+15

She can spend up to 300, so less than or equal to 300:

80x +15 <=300
