Trucking company charges a flat rate of $250 per truck
and $1.25 for every mile driven
The company has a budget of less than $950
Let the truck drive for x miles in that one way trip then we can write
[tex] \\
250+1.25x<950\\ [/tex]
Hence the required inequality is
[tex] \\
250+1.25x<950\\ [/tex]
Let the number of miles driven be x miles.
One way trip cost is $250 + $1.25 for every mile driven.
If number of miles driven is x then cost of driving x miles at the rate of $1.25 every miles is 1.25x
It is given the apparel company has a budget less than $950
we can write it as an inequality equation as :
250+1.25x<950
Solving the inequality for x we subtract 250 both sides
1.25x<950-250
1.25x<700
x<560
Numbers of miles driven is less than 560 miles
