Stan’s Car Rental charges $35 per day plus $0.25 per mile. Denise wants to rent one of Stan’s cars, keeping the total cost of the rental to no more than $55.

What is the greatest number of miles Denise can drive the car to stay within her budget?

80 miles

35+.25x is less than or equal to 55
55-35= 20
20/.25 =x
x= 80
