Cost is $40 + .22*m where m is the miles

You can pay a maximum of $84.

formula is:

84 = 40 + .22*m

subtract 40 from both sides of this equation to get:

44 = .22*m

divide both sides of this equation by .22 to get:

44/.22 = m

simplify to get:

m = 200

you can go at most 200 miles assuming there are no additional charges like taxes, gas, insurance, etc.
