A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $23.95 per day and $0.31 per mile. If Brad rents this car for 4 days, how many whole miles can he drive on a $150 budget?
(Round down to the nearest whole mile)

Multiply the price per day by the number of days:

23.95 x 4 = 95.80

Subtract that from what the budget:

150 - 95.80 = 54.20

Divide that amount by price per mile:

54.20 / 0.31 = 174.84 miles

Round down to 174 miles.
