Question

Nancy Stone has a small company and has negotiated a special rate for rental cars when she and other employees take business trips. The maximum charge is $45.00 per day plus $0.40 per mile. Discounts apply when renting for longer periods of time or during off-peak seasons. Write a linear inequality that models the total cost of the daily rental c(m) as a function of the total miles driven, m.

Answer 1

Answer:

c(m)<=45+0.4m

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear inequality involves a linear function. It contains one of the symbols of inequality. It exactly looks like a linear equation,with the inequality sign replacing the equality sign.

According to the statement Nancy has negotiated a special rate and the maximum charge is $45.00 per day with the addition of $ 0.40 per mile.

So,

a linear inequality that models the total cost of the daily rental as a function of the total miles driven,m is:

c(m)<=45+0.4m
