Question

Stan’s Car Rental charges $35 per day plus $0.25 per mile. Denise wants to rent one of Stan’s cars, keeping the total cost of the rental to no more than $55. What is the greatest number of miles Denise can drive the car to stay within her budget? A. 75 miles B. 80 miles C. 90 miles D. 100 miles

Answer 1

The answer for this que is option C

Answer 2

Car rental charge =$35
charge per mile = $0.25
total money Denise have = $55
then as the car rental will charge him $35 then remaining amount he is left =$20
therefore the maximum number of miles he can travel in his budget =$20 ÷ $0.25
= $
$\frac{20}{0.25} \\ = \frac{2000}{25} \\ = 80$
