Let distance between warehouse and retail outlets be x miles.
We are told that for a one-way trip, the trucking company charges a flat rate of $250 per truck, plus $1.25 for every mile driven. The apparel company has a budget of less than $950 per trip.
Upon multiplying 1.25 by x we will get delivering charges for x miles as 1.25*x. Total delivery charges also include $250 per one-way trip, therefore, 250 will be our constant.
Our total delivery charges for x miles will be,
[tex]1.25\cdot x+250[/tex]
The apparel company should service those outlets for whom delivery cost will be less than $950.
[tex]1.25\cdot x+250<950[/tex]
Therefore, an inequality representing apparel company's profit will be [tex]1.25\cdot x+250<950[/tex].
Answer:
Assume m is the distance each truck can travel in miles.
charge per mile = $1.25
charge for m miles = $1.25m
flat rate charged per truck = $250
maximum the company can spend = $950
This inequality represents the maximum distance the truck can cover with the given budget:
$250 + $1.25m < $950
