A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $24.95 per day and $0.33 per mile.If David rents this car for 3 days, how many whole miles can he drive on a $100 budget?

A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $ 26.95 per day and $ 0.34 per mile. If Brad rents this car for 2 ​days, how many whole miles can he drive on a $ 100 ​budget?

To determine how many whole miles David can drive on a $100 budget, we need to calculate the cost of renting the car for 3 days and subtract that from the total budget of $100. Then, we can divide the remaining budget by the cost per mile to find the maximum number of miles David can drive.

The cost of renting the car for 3 days can be calculated by multiplying the daily rate of $24.95 by the number of days:
3 days x $24.95/day = $74.85

To find the remaining budget after renting the car, we subtract the cost of renting from the total budget:
$100 - $74.85 = $25.15

Next, we divide the remaining budget by the cost per mile ($0.33) to find the maximum number of whole miles David can drive:
$25.15 / $0.33/mile = 76.21 miles

Since David can only drive whole miles, he can drive a maximum of 76 miles on a $100 budget.

To find out how many whole miles David can drive on a $100 budget, we need to break down the cost first.

First, let's calculate the cost of renting the car for 3 days:
Cost of renting = price per day x number of days
Cost of renting = $24.95 x 3 = $74.85

Next, let's see how much of the budget is left for the mileage:
Mileage budget = total budget - cost of renting
Mileage budget = $100 - $74.85 = $25.15

Since David is charged $0.33 per mile, we can find the number of miles by dividing the mileage budget by the cost per mile:
Number of miles = mileage budget / cost per mile
Number of miles = $25.15 / $0.33 ≈ 76.21 miles

However, we need to consider that David can only drive whole miles, so he can drive a maximum of 76 miles on a $100 budget.

(24.95 * 3) + 0.33x < 100

74.85 + 0.33x < 100

0.33x < 25.75

x = 78 miles
