A rental car company offers an option for a weekend rental which costs $51.99 for the weekend plus $0.14 per mile. If you've budgeted $150 for the rental car, how many miles can you drive?

700 miles. We know this because 150 minus 51.99 equals 98.01. That means that after renting the car for the weekend, you still have $98.01 left to spend on the car. Now 98.01 divided by .14 equals 700.07, so you can drive 700 miles during the weekend.
