Question 203296: a car rental agency advertised renting a luxury, full size car for $29.95 per day and $0.29 per mile. if you rent this car for 2 days, how many whole miles can you drive if you only have $200 to spend?

Set up the equation for the cost of the rental.
where d = number of days rented and m = number of miles driven.
Substitute C = $200.00 and d = 2 days.
Simplify.
Subtract 59.90 from both sides.
Divide both sides by 0.29

You can drive for 483 miles.
