Alocal company rents a moving truck for $750 plus $0.59 per mile driven over 1000 mi. what is the maximum number of miles the truck can be driven so that the rental cost is at most $1000? (round to the nearest mile.)

1750 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of miles driven over 1000 miles. The cost of the truck rental is C= 750. For the cost to be at most $1200, solve the inequality: 750 + 0.06x≤1200 Subtract 750 from each side: Divide each side by : 0.06. X≤750

Because x represents the miles over 1000 miles, the renter can drive the truck no more than 1000 + 750 = 1750 miles for the rental cost to be less than or equal to $1200.
