Question

A rental car company charges $51 per day to rent a car and $0.14 for everymile driven. Damian wants to rent a car, knowing that:• He plans to drive 250 miles.• He has at most $290 to spend.

Answer 1

It is given that the rental car charges $0.14 for every mile.

If we have drive for 250 miles, the charge will be

$250\times0.14=35$

Hence the amount is $35 to drive the car for 250 miles.

Then he has at most $290 to spend.The remt for 0ne day is $51

Hence with 290 dollars he can rent a car for

$\frac{290}{51}=5.68\text{ days}$

That is he can travel 5 and a half day with that amount.

If we reduce the cost for miles we get the amount as 290-35=255

With this amount

$\frac{255}{5}=5$

Hence he can travel 5 days 250 miles with the amount he has
