A car rents for $40 per day plus 18 cents per mile. Your on a budget of $67 a day. What mileage will allow you to stay within your budget?

67 - 40 = 27

27 / 0.18 = ?

To determine the mileage that will allow you to stay within your budget, you can set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's suppose the mileage you drive for a day is represented by x (in miles).

According to the given information, the cost of renting the car per day is $40, and you also have a budget of $67 per day, including both the rental cost and the mileage charges.

So, the equation to express the cost within your budget is:
Cost of renting the car ($40) + Mileage charges (0.18x) = Budget ($67)

Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of x, which represents the mileage that will keep you within your budget.

$40 + 0.18x = $67

To isolate x, we can subtract $40 from both sides of the equation:

0.18x = $67 - $40
0.18x = $27

Finally, to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.18:

x = $27 / 0.18

Using a calculator, we find that x is approximately 150 miles.

Therefore, driving up to 150 miles for a day will allow you to stay within your budget of $67 while renting the car.
