A rental car company charges $31 per day to rent a car and $0.13 for every mile driven. Jocelyn wants to rent a car, knowing that:

She plans to drive 500 miles.

• She has at most $220 to spend.

.

Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine d, the number of days

Jocelyn can afford to rent while staying within her budget.

The number of days is at most 5 days

= d ≤ 5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

A rental car company charges $31 per day to rent a car and $0.13 for every mile driven. Jocelyn wants to rent a car, knowing that:

She plans to drive 500 miles.

• She has at most $220 to spend.

At most means Less than or equal to $220

The inequality for expressing this = ≤

Hence, the inequality which can be used to determine d, the number of days Jocelyn can afford to rent while staying within her budget.

$31 × d + $0.13 × 500 miles ≤ $200

The inequality is given as:

31d + 65 ≤ 220

Solving further

31d ≤ 220 -65

31d ≤ 155

d ≤ 155/31

d ≤ 5

Therefore, the number of days is at most 5 days

1 1/5
