Question

It costs $12 per day, plus $0.12 per mile to rent a compact car. Mr. Garrison has a budget of $50 to rent car for a one-day trip. How many miles, x, can Mr. Garrison drive without going over his budget?

Answer 1

Answer:

316

Step-by-step explanation:

the original price for 1 day: $12

Since the question says he will on use the car for one day, the price will only go up by $12.

m = total miles

x = # of miles

formula: m = x(0.12) + 12

the bu dget is 50$, so we have to find x in order to find how many miles Mr. Garrison can g o without going over limit.

Ok so doing the math, this is the proble m::

m = 316(0.12) + 12

m = 37.92 + 12

m = 49.92

Hence, the highest amount of miles Mr Garrison can drive is 316 without the price going over $50.
