The cost of a daily rental car is as follows: The initial fee is $69.99 for the car, and it costs $0.30 per mile. If John initially pays $200.00 before taxes and does not want to exceed that amount, how many miles can he drive?

x ≥ 433 miles
x = 450 miles
x ≥ 450 miles
x ≤ 433 miles

x
\geq 433

explanation:

let m equal miles

0.30m + 69.99 = 200

-69.99 -69.99

0.30m = 130. 01

130.01 / 0.30 = 433. 36...

but we're gonna round it to 433

so 433 miles
