Question 916132: A car rents for $30 per day plus 19¢ per mile. You are on a daily budget of $87. What mileage will allow you to stay within your budget?
Answer by JulietG(1812)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming you're renting for one day, your cost is $30 to rent the car, leaving you $47 for mileage. $47/.19 = 247 miles
If you rent the car for 2 days ($30*2=$60), then you have $27 to spend on mileage. $27/.19 = 142 miles
You cannot rent the car for three days, even if you park it. ($30*3=$90)
