A car rents for $45 per day plus 21 cents a mile. If x represents the number of miles Jorge drives per day, 45 + 0.21x represents the price of the rental. If Jorge has $66 to spend for the daily car rental, what is the maximun number of miles he can travel per day.
------------------------------
66 = 45 + 0.21x
21 = 0.21x
x = 100 (# of miles he will drive)
