A car rents for $45
per day plus 21
cents
per mile. If x represents the number of miles Jorge drives per day, 45
plus0.21x
represents the cost of the rental. If Jorge has $66
to spend for the daily car rental, what is the maximum number of miles he can travel per day?
To find the maximum number of miles Jorge can travel per day, we need to solve the equation:
45 + 0.21x ≤ 66
We subtract 45 from both sides:
0.21x ≤ 66 - 45
0.21x ≤ 21
Now, we divide both sides by 0.21:
x ≤ 100
Therefore, Jorge can travel a maximum of 100 miles per day.
