A car rents for $30 per day plus 19 cents per mile. You are on a daily budget of $87. What mileage will allow you to stay within your budget?
(Solution: [tex]m \leq[/tex] miles)
Answer (2)
y = 30 + 0.19 x y = 87 30 + 0.19 x = 87 0.19 x = 57 x = 0.19 57 x = 300 mi l es
To stay within a budget of $87 for renting a car at $30 per day plus $0.19 per mile, you can drive a maximum of approximately 300 miles. This is determined by setting up the equation based on the given costs and solving for the mileage. Thus, you should keep your driving distance at or below 300 miles.
