a car rents for $30 per day plus 18cent per mile.you are on a daily budjet of 75$.What milage will allow you to stay within your budjet.
let M be the number of miles you can drive. Solve the eq
let M be the number of miles you can drive. Solve the equation
30 + 0.18 M = 75
Solve that equation for M.
The cost of fuel should also be considered.
To determine the mileage that will allow you to stay within your daily budget of $75, we can start by calculating the maximum amount you can spend on the car rental itself.
First, subtract the car rental cost from your daily budget:
Daily budget - Car rental cost = Maximum amount for mileage
Car rental cost = $30 per day
Maximum amount for mileage = $75 - $30
Maximum amount for mileage = $45
Now, let's calculate the maximum number of miles you can drive with the remaining $45.
The cost per mile is $0.18, so we can find the maximum number of miles by dividing the remaining amount by the cost per mile:
Maximum number of miles = Maximum amount for mileage / Cost per mile
Maximum number of miles = $45 / $0.18
Maximum number of miles = 250 miles
Therefore, to stay within your budget of $75 per day, you can drive a maximum of 250 miles.
