A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $26.95 per day and $0.31 per mile.If Kevin rents this car for 33 days,how many whole miles can he drive on a $250 budget?
None.
33 * 26.05 = $889.35
$26.95
To determine how many whole miles Kevin can drive on a $250 budget, we need to calculate the total cost of renting the car for 33 days and subtract it from the budget. Then, we can divide the remaining amount by the cost per mile to find out how many miles Kevin can drive.
First, let's calculate the total cost of renting the car for 33 days. Given that the daily rate is $26.95, we multiply it by the number of days:
33 days * $26.95/day = $888.35
Next, we subtract this total cost from Kevin's budget of $250:
$250 - $888.35 = -$638.35
Since the result is negative, it means Kevin does not have enough budget to cover the total cost of renting the car for 33 days.
Therefore, with a $250 budget, Kevin cannot rent the car for 33 days and drive any miles.
