Question 121082
If the car has a fixed cost of $40 per day, and you are on a budget of $67 per day, that leaves $67 - $40 = $27 per day for mileage.


$27 is 2700 cents, and it costs you 18 cents for every mile you drive.  So, {{{2700/18=150}}} is the number of miles you can afford to drive each day.

Say you are on a three-day trip with this same car rental deal and for each of the first two days, you travel 100 miles per day.  How many miles can you afford to drive on the third day.  Even more extra credit if you do this in your head.
