Answer:
Explanation:
After calculating the cost for miles driven, we determine Santiago has $80 left for daily rental charges. Dividing this by the daily rate, Santiago can rent a car for approximately 2.75 days, but since fractions of a day aren't possible, he can actually rent it for a maximum of 2 full days.
Explanation:
To calculate the maximum number of days Santiago can rent the car while staying within his budget of $100, we must first determine the total cost of the miles he plans to drive. Santiago plans to drive 400 miles, and the rental car company charges $0.05 per mile. Therefore, the cost for the miles driven is:
400 miles × $0.05/mile = $20
Next, we subtract the cost of the miles driven from Santiago's total budget to find out how much money he has left for the daily rental charge:
$100 - $20 = $80
Now we divide the remaining budget by the daily rental charge to find the maximum number of days Santiago can rent the car:
$80 ÷ $29/day ≈ 2.75 days
Since Santiago cannot rent a car for a fraction of a day, he can rent the car for a maximum of 2 full days and stay within his budget.
