Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Greg rent the car for 3 day so 3 x 24.95= $74.85 off the top without driving a single mile.

If he has a budget of $250, his remainder budget for mileage is $250 - $74.85 = $175.15.

How many miles he can travel at $0.28/mile with $175.15 budget?

Greg can drive $175.15/0.28 = 625.53 or 625 Miles
