Question

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEE, GIVING 30 POINTS IF YOU SOLVE (MY THRID TIME REPOSTING THIS)

A rental car company charges $40.50 per day to rent a car and $0.15 for every mile driven. Elizabeth wants to rent a car, knowing that:

She plans to drive 125 miles.

She has at most $210 to spend.


Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine x, the number of days Elizabeth can afford to rent while staying within her budget.

Answer 1

Answer: 4 days, more below

Explanation:

40.50x + 0.15y < 210

(0.15)(125)=18.75

40.50x + 18.75 < 210

40.50x < 191.25

x < 4.7222222...

She can afford to rent the car for 4 days if she drives 125 miles and has 210$ to spend.
