167 miles without the cost of the rental

Explanation:

Daniela needs to rent a car while on vacation. The rental company charges $19.95, plus 18 cents for each mile driven. If Daniela only has $50 to spend on the car rental, what is the maximum number of miles she can drive? Round your answer to the nearest mile.

equation: where m = miles driven

50 = 0.18m + 19.95

subtract 19.95 from both sides:

50 - 19.95= 0.18m + 19.95 - 19.95

30.05 = 0.18m

divide both sides by 0.18:

30.05/0.18 = 0.18m/0.18

m = 166.9444

rounded: 167 miles without the cost of the rental
