Answer:
1.14 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a car rental rents a compact car at a daily rate of $25.20 plus 20c. Mike can afford to spend $48 on the car rental for one day.
To find number of miles, Mike can drive spending $48, we will equate 48 by given expression and solve for c.
[tex]48=25.20+20c[/tex]
[tex]48-25.20=25.20-25.20+20c[/tex]
[tex]22.8=20c[/tex]
[tex]c=\frac{22.8}{20}[/tex]
[tex]c=1.14[/tex]
Therefore, Mike can drive 1.14 miles and stay within his budget.
