Question

A car rental agency charges $39.99 per day, x, and $0.18 per mile to rent a car. Aaron needs to rent a car for at least 2 days. He can spend no more than $150. Which system of inequalities can be used to find the number of miles, y, Aaron can drive the car?

A X ≤ 2 39.99x+0.18y≥ 150
B. X 22 39.99x+0.18y 150.
C. X ≤ 2 0.18x +39.99y ≤ 150
D. X 22 0.18x +39.99y ≤ 150​

Answer 1

Answer:208 mi

Explanation:

If David rents the car for four days,

that's an up-front costof 4 × 23.95 = $95.80.

The other cost depends on the distance (d) he drives.

The equation for his total cost (C) isC = 0.26d + 95.80If David has needs a budget

of $150, then

150 = 0.26d + 95.80- 95.80 from each side54.20 =

0.26d ÷ 0.26d = 208.5

David can't drive that extra 0.5 mi without going over his budget.He can drive 208 whole miles.
