Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total cost of renting the saw is $9 (flat fee) + $4 per day. To spend no more than $49, we solve for the number of days: $49 = $9 + $4 * days. Subtracting $9 from both sides gives $40 = $4 * days. Dividing both sides by $4 gives 10 days as the maximum number of days you can keep the saw.
