Question 323237
Mike wants to rent a car for his vacation. The rental costs $130 a week plus $0.20 a mile. How far to the nearest mile can Mike travel if he wants to spend $325 at most?
.
Let x = total miles driven
then
.20x + 130 = 325
.20x = 195
x = 975 miles
Since this is the "total" distance -- considering we must travel to "get there" then drive back.  So, we must consider half of 975 or 488 miles
