A car rental company charges $0.16 per mile, plus $35 per day for a midsize sedan. If someone rents a vehicle for 4 days and has $300. What is the maximum number of miles she can drive?

a. 1656 miles

b. 1000 miles

c. 2750 miles

d. 2093 miles

Correct answer: b. 1000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

let be maximum number of miles x = ?

0.16$ per mile

35$ per day

4 days for 300$

The equation by which we will solve this problem is:

0.16 · x + 35 · 4 = 300

0.16 · x + 140 = 300

0.16 · x = 300 - 140 = 160

0.16 · x = 160

x = 160 / 0.16 = 1,000 miles

x = 1,000 miles

God is with you!
