the cost of renting a car is #22 a day plus 20 cents per mile. How far can May drive in one day if she only has $108?

22 + 0.2m = 108

Solve for m.

1m=430

To determine how far May can drive in one day, we need to find the number of miles that can be covered within her budget of $108.

First, we need to determine the portion of the daily cost that isn't dependent on the number of miles driven. From the given information, we know that the daily cost of renting the car is $22.

Next, we need to determine the mileage cost per day. It is given that May has to pay an additional 20 cents for each mile driven. So, in one day, if May drives x miles, the mileage cost would be 0.20 * x dollars.

Now, we can set up an equation to find the maximum number of miles May can drive. The total cost (consisting of the daily cost and the mileage cost) should not exceed her budget of $108. So:

Total cost = Daily cost + Mileage cost
Total cost ≤ $108

Plugging in the given values, we have:

$22 + 0.20x ≤ $108

Now, we can solve the equation to find the maximum number of miles May can drive.

$22 + 0.20x ≤ $108
0.20x ≤ $108 - $22
0.20x ≤ $86

Divide both sides of the inequality by 0.20:

x ≤ $86 / 0.20
x ≤ $430

So, May can drive a maximum of 430 miles in one day with her budget of $108.
