Question

a rental car company charges $37.50 per day to rent a car and $5 per 100 - mile. alyssa wants to rent a car, knowing that: she plans to drive 100 miles. she has at most $200 to spend. write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine x, the number of days she can afford to rent while staying within her budget. answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ inequality: 37.5x + 5 ≤ 200 x

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the term with x

Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality $37.5x + 5\leq200$.
$37.5x+5 - 5\leq200 - 5$
$37.5x\leq195$

Step2: Solve for x

Divide both sides of the inequality by 37.5.
$x\leq\frac{195}{37.5}$
$x\leq5.2$

Answer:

$x\leq5.2$
