Answer:

maximum amount of number of days that Jackson can rent a car while staying with his budget is 2 days

Explanation:

first of all find the amount of money he will spend for 500 miles

in this case we multiply 0.12 by 500

=> 0.12 × 500

=> 60

subtract 60 from the money budgeted which is $210

=> $210 - 60

=> 150

divide 150 by the company charges per day which is dollars 68.64

=> 150 ÷ 68.64

divide 150 by 68.64

=> 2.185314685314685

approximately

=> 2 days
