Here is the word problem:
Value Rent-A-Car rents a luxury car at a daily rate of $41.72 plus 10 cents per mile. A business person is allotted $130 for car rental each day. How many miles can the business person travel on the $130?
Here is a demo of me working through the problem.
You might be asking yourself where the four parts are? I was focused on explaining in the demo, but on a test we want to be more careful about our presentation of the solution. Here are the four parts of the answer that I want to make sure are on my paper before I turn it in.

- Part 1: Defining the Variable x is the number of miles the person travels
- Part 2: Writing the Equation, Inequality, or System of Equations 41.72 + .10x = 130
- Part 3: Writing the Solution to the Equation, Inequality, or System of Equations x = 882.8
- Part 4: Write the Answer to Your Question The person can travel 882.8 miles for $130.
