A rental car company charges $45 plus $0.20 per mile to rent a car. Mr. Lawrence does not want to spend more than $100 for his rental car. Write and solve an inequality to find how many miles he can drive and not spend more than $100. Interpret the solution.

STEP ONE: write the correct inequality (1 point)



HINT: The charge from the car company and the cost per mile must be no more than $100.

STEP TWO: solve the inequality to find the correct solution set (2 points)



HINT: Remember to undo addition or subtraction first.

STEP THREE: interpreting the solution (in other words, tell what it means/represents/stands for)
