Whitney needs to rent a car while on vacation. The rental company charges $18.95, plus 16 cents for each mile driven. If Whitney only has $50 to spend on the car rental, what is the maximum number of miles she can drive?

50 - 18.95 = 31.05
31.05 divided by .16 = 194.06
Answer: Whitney could only drive 194 miles.
