what is the total number of days Owen can rent the car while staying within his budget.

Question

A rental car company charges $50.40 per day to rent a car and $0.14 for every mile driven. Owen wants to rent a car, knowing that:

1. He plans to drive 200 miles.
2. He has at most $280 to spend.

write an inequality representing d

Answer 1

C = 50.4(d) + 0.14(m) d = days, m = miles driven

280 > 50.4d + .14m

m=200

280 > 50.4d + .14(200) = 50.4d +28

252 > 50.4 d

252/50.4 > d

5 > d

days driven will be less than or equal to 5 days

50.4 x 5 = 252

plus .14(200) = 28 + 252 = $280 the budget limit
