A rental car company charges $53 per day to rent a car and $0.08 for every mile driven Rashaad wants to rent a car knowing that

-he plans to drive 475 miles
-he has at most $250 to spend
fill in the blank to write an inequality representing d the total number of days rashaad can rent the car while staying within his budget
d (inequality sign) (number)

The cost of renting the car for d days can be expressed as 53d dollars. Additionally, Rashaad would have to pay 0.08 * 475 = <<0.08*475=38>>38 dollars for the total miles driven.

To stay within his budget of $250, the total cost of renting the car plus the cost for the miles driven must be less than or equal to $250.

Therefore, the inequality representing the total number of days Rashaad can rent the car while staying within his budget is:
53d + 38 ≤ 250
