Answer:
The inequality that represents this statement is 99 + 0.2*miles <= 200 and Melissa has to drive 505 miles or less on her vacation.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem we can first create an equation that represents the total paid in function of the miles driven. We have:
total paid = 99 + 0.2*miles
Since Melissa can oly pay $200 for the rent, then the total paid by her must be less or equal to this value so we have:
99 + 0.2*miles <= 200
0.2*miles <= 200 - 99
0.2*miles <= 101
miles <= 101/0.2
miles <= 505 miles
The inequality that represents this statement is 99 + 0.2*miles <= 200 and Melissa has to drive 505 miles or less on her vacation.
Answer:
The distance Melissa can drive in the rented car ≤ 505 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount charged by rental car company = $ 99 per week + $0.20 per driven mile
Amount Melissa can afford = $200
Therefore $99 + X × $0.20 ≤ $200
X × $0.20 ≤ $200 - $99
X × $0.20 ≤ $101
[tex]X \leq \frac{\$101}{\$0.20}[/tex]
[tex]X \leq 505 \ miles[/tex]
The distance Melissa can drive in the rented car ≤ 505 miles.
