The cost of renting a car is 35/we plus $0.25/mi traveled during that week. An equation to represent the cost would be y= 35+0.25x, where x is the number of miles traveled. Suppose you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental. What would be the maximum number of miles you could travel?

ANSWER

260 miles

EXPLANATION

The equation that models the cost is

[tex]y = 35 + 0.25x[/tex]

If you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental, then we can equation the cost function to

$100 to determine the maximum number of miles you could travel.

[tex]35 + 0.25x = 100[/tex]

[tex]0.25x = 100 - 35[/tex]

[tex]0.25x = 65[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{65}{0.25} [/tex]

[tex]x = 260mi[/tex]

Therefore the maximum number of miles you can travel is 260 miles
Basically what that person said you can travel a max of 260 miles
