Acar rental company charges a base fee of $30 per day to rent a car, along with an additional $0.18 per mile driven. if george wants to spend less than $55 one a one-day car rental, write an inequality to represents the number of miles (m) that george can drive that day?

George's cost per day is

... c = 30 + 0.18m

We want c < 55, so we can write

... 30 + 0.18m < 55 . . . . . your inequality

Here is the solution to the inequality

... 0.18m < 25

... m < 25/0.18

... m < 138.9

George must drive less than 138.9 miles that day.

the answer is b.)

< 1=< 2
