Question

The cost of a car rental is ​$40 per day plus $0.22 per mile. You are on a daily budget of ​$84. Write and solve an inequality to find the greatest distance you can drive each day while staying within your budget. Use pencil and paper. Find 2 other​ two-step inequalities with the same solutions.

Answer 1

200 miles

Explanation:

Given data

cost of car rental per day= $40

cost per mile= $0.22

We are told that the budget is $84

The expression for the total cost is given as

y= 40+0.22x

where x = the distance travelled

now for y=$84, by substituting we can get x

84=40+0.22x

84-40=0.22x

44=0.22x

divide both sides by 0.22

x= 44/0.22

x=200

Hence the distance that $84 will go is 200 miles
