Question

A rental car company charges $33.21 per day to rent a car and $0.14 for every mile driven. Evan wants to rent a car, knowing that:

1. He plans to drive 375 miles.
2. He has at most $210 to spend.

What is the maximum number of days that Evan can rent the car while staying within his budget?

Answer 1

3321 + 14D < 210

375 x .14 = 52.50 to drive 375 miles

210.00 - 52.50 = 157.50 left to pay for the daily charge

157.50/33.21 = 4.75 days

At most he can rent for 4 days and stay within the budget while driving 375 miles
