Answer:
Explanation:
Let x represent the maximum number of miles that she can drive.
Riley needs to rent a car while on vacation. The rental company charges $18.95, plus 16 cents for each mile driven. Converting 16 cents to dollars, it becomes 16/100 = $0.16
Assuming Riley drives the car for x miles, the total charge would be
0.16x + 18.95
If Riley only has $50 to spend on the car rental, it means that
0.16x + 18.95 = 50
0.16x = 50 - 18.95
0.16x = 31.05
x = 31.05/0.16 = 194.0625
The maximum number of miles that
she can drive is 194 miles.
