Question

A rental car company charges $65.44 per day to rent a car and $0.15 for every mile

driven. Lucy wants to rent a car, knowing that:
• She plans to drive 425 miles.
• She has at most $400 to spend.
What is the maximum number of days that Lucy can rent the car while staying within
her budget?

Answer 1

5 days
0.15 times 425= 63.75
400-63.75=336.25
336.25 divided by 65.44= 5.1382...
