Car rental company charges $39.99 per day. The first 50 miles are free, but there there is a charge of $0.28 per mile after 50 miles.

\n" ); document.write( "I don't know how to begin to write this inequality. Can you help me?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "C(m)=39.99+.28(m-50) where m is the miles and m>50 miles
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"39.99%2B.28%28m-50%29%3C=55\"
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28m%3C=103.6%29\"miles ......so miles have to be less than or equal to 103.6 in order to spend no more than 55 dollars
