A rental company charges $50 plus $0.20/mi to rent a car. Marissa must spend under $184.60 on the rental. How many miles can Marissa drive the car?

Write and solve a linear inequality to find the number of miles that Marissa can drive the car.

Enter either < or > in the first box and the number of miles in the second box.

Answer 1

She can drive less than 673 miles. 

Answer 2

The inequality is:
$50 + 0.2x\ \textless \ 184.6$
Let's solve it:
$0.2x\ \textless \ 184.6 - 50$
$0.2x\ \textless \ 134.6$
$x\ \textless \ \frac{134.6}{0.2}$
$x\ \textless \ 673$

So Marissa can drive up to 673 miles so far before she runs out of money.
