Question 1139394: Savannah needs to rent a car while on vacation. The rental company charges $17.95, plus 19 cents for each mile driven. If Savannah only has $40 to spend on the car rental, what is the maximum number of miles she can drive?
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = number of miles driven
17.95 + 0.19x ≤ 40 {flat charge plus price per mile times number of miles is less than or equal to 40}
0.19x ≤ 22.05 {subtracted 17.95 from each side}
x ≤ 116.05 {divided each side by 0.19 and rounded to nearest hundredth}
Approximately 116.05 is the maximum number of miles she can drive.
