A car rental agency advertised renting a car for 23.95 per day and 0.26 per mile. If David rents this car for 4 days, how many whole miles can he drive on a 150 budget

208 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

If David rents the car for four days, that's an up-front cost

of 4 * 23.95 = $95.80.

The other cost depends on the distance (d) he drives.

The equation for his total cost (C) is

C = 0.26d + 95.80

If David has a budget of $150, then

150 = 0.26d + 95.80

Subtract 95.80 from each side

54.20 = 0.26d

Divide each side by 0.26

d = 208.5 mi

David can't drive that extra 0.5 mi without going over his budget.

He can drive 208 whole miles.

208 whole miles can he drive on a 150 budget
