A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $ 23.95 per day and $ 0.32 per mile. If Brad
rents this car for 4 days, how many whole miles can he drive on a $ 150 budget?
You need to start by multiplying $23.95 by four to get the b value. You get $95.8, which is the cost for only the car for 4 days. The 0.32 is the m (growth rate) and the 150 is the y (the total number) Here is your equation: 150=0.32x+95.8 Remove alike terms. -95.8 -95.8 54.2=0.32x Divide by the number in front of the variable ------- ------- .32 .32 x=169.375 miles
