Question 1154190:
Abby and Frank decided that to save​ money, they would move themselves from
their apartment to their new house. They had to rent a truck to do this. Because
their budget was very​ strict, they could afford to spend no more than ​$100.
The rental truck costs $ 29.95 per day plus $ 0.48 per mile.
If they needed the truck for 2 days, what was the limit on the mileage they
could put on the​ truck?
They can drive no more than

miles.
​(Round to the nearest tenth as​ needed.)

Not including the mileage fee, renting the rental truck for 2 days costs $59.90. They have $40.10 left to spend on the mileage fee. They could drive up to 40.10%2F0.48 miles which is approximately 83.5 miles.
