You want to rent a limousine for a trip to the city . the limo costs 700$ for the night and 0.15$ per mile . you only have to spend . write an inequality that represents this scenario

See the solution process below:

Explanation:

The formula for solving this problem is:

c

=

f

+

(

r

⋅

m

)

Where:

c

is the total cost - $750 for this problem

f

is the fixed cost - $700 for this problem

r

is the variable rate cost - $0.15 per mile for this problem

m

is the number of miles traveled - what we are solving for in this problem.

Substituting and solving for

m

gives:

For $750 the limo can travel 333 miles rounded to the nearest mile.

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
