Question

A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $24.95 per day and $0.26 per mile. If Brad rents this car for 3 days, how many whole miles can he drive on a $200 budget ?

Answer 1

481 miles, Have a good day!

Answer 2

481 whole miles

Explanation:

Total cost would be 3 x 24.95 + 0.26m, where m is the miles driven.

Total cost has to be under or equal to $200, so

3 x 24.95 + 0.26m <= 200

74.85 + 0.26m <= 200 ( 3 x 24.95)

0.26m <= 125.15 ( subtract 74.85)

m <= 481.35 ( divide 0.26)
