Can you make it to
Myrtle Beach? Yes.
How long can you stay? That depends upon the cost of your lodging, how much you spend on food and sundries.
Part B -- You are planning on going to Florida (about 950 miles away). How many days can you afford to rent a car, without using any of your spending money, if the cost is $35 per day plus $0.10 per mile?
35x + 190 = 300
35x = 110
x = 3 days
Pretend that you are now a senior in high school. You have been planning a vacation for mid-winter recess
with your friends. Ten years ago, your parents put $200 in a savings account for you. It offered 6%
simple interest rate to spend on food and souvenirs. Your mom offered you a gift card at a Mobil gas
station for $200, and your dad gave you a gift card from Hertz Rental Cars for $300. Can you make it to
Myrtle Beach? How long can you stay?

Thanks!
You're welcome.
Where did you get 190 and 300?
950 * 2 = 1900 miles round trip. At 10 cents a mile times 1900 = $190
your dad gave you a gift card from Hertz Rental Cars for $300.
