Problema Solution

A car-rental agency charges$35 per day and $.25 per mile. Write an expression for the cost of renting a car for one day and driving m miles. How many miles could you drive if you have only $50?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'C' represent the total cost in dollars and 'm' represent the miles driven:

C = 0.25m + 35


limiting the total cost to $50:

50 >= 0.25m + 35

m <= 60


you could drive a maximum of 60 miles if you only had $50
