a car rental agency advertised renting a car for $27.95 per day and $0.28 per mile. if greg rents this car for 2 days how many whole miles can he drive on a $100 budget?
(2 * 27.95) + 0.28m < 100
Solve for m.
To calculate the number of whole miles Greg can drive on a $100 budget, we need to consider the daily rate and the cost per mile.
First, let's calculate the cost of renting the car for 2 days:
2 days x $27.95 per day = $55.90
The remaining budget after paying for the rental is:
$100 - $55.90 = $44.10
Now we need to determine how many miles Greg can drive with the remaining budget. Since each mile costs $0.28, we divide the remaining budget by the cost per mile:
$44.10 / $0.28 per mile = 157.5 miles
However, since we are looking for the number of whole miles Greg can drive, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Greg can drive a maximum of 157 whole miles on a $100 budget.
