A rental car company charges $22 per day to rent a car and $0.08 for every mile driven. Samuel wants to rent a car, knowing that:
He plans to drive 450 miles.
He has at most $80 to spend.

Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of days Samuel can afford to rent while staying within his budget.

Respuesta :

Using the inequality concept, the expression models the number of days Samuel can afford to rent while staying within his budget is 11x + 18 ≤  40

What is inequality?

Inequality is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are not equal.

A rental car company charges $22 per day to rent a car and $0.08 for every mile driven

The maximum amount to spend = $80

Fixed charge per day $22

Charge per mile = $0.08

The inequality which represents the number of days Can be expressed thus :

(Charge per day × number of days) + (charge per mile × number of miles) ≤  80

22x + 0.08× 450 ≤ 80

22x + 36 ≤  80

Divided by 2 both sides of an inequality,

11x + 18 ≤  40

Hence, the required inequality expression is 11x + 18 ≤  40
