The business person can travel for 693.3 miles
Solution:
value rent-a-car rental a luxury car at a daily rate of $40.67 plus 10 cents per mile
1 dollar = 100 cents
[tex]10\ cents = \frac{10}{100}\ dollar\\\\10\ cents = 0.1\ dollar[/tex]
Let "m" be the number of miles
Therefore, total cost to rent is given as:
Total cost = 40.67 + 0.1(number of miles)
Total cost = 40.67 + 0.1m
A business person is alloted $110 for a car rental each day
Therefore, total cost = 110
Thus we get,
110 = 40.67 + 0.1m
Solve for "m"
0.1m = 110 - 40.67
0.1m = 69.33
Divide both sides by 0.1
m = 693.3
Thus business person can travel for 693.3 miles
