Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The base rental cost is 0.173. Romina has a total of $40 to spend on the car rental4. We are looking for the maximum number of miles she can drive, rounded down to the nearest whole mile
STEP 2
First, we need to calculate how much money Romina has left after paying the base rental cost. We can do this by subtracting the base rental cost from the total amount she has to spend.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the total money and base rental cost to calculate the remaining money.
STEP 4
Calculate the remaining money.
STEP 5
Now that we have the remaining money, we can calculate the maximum number of miles Romina can drive. We can do this by dividing the remaining money by the cost per mile.
STEP 6
Plug in the values for the remaining money and the cost per mile to calculate the maximum miles.
STEP 7
Calculate the maximum miles.
Since we need to round down to the nearest whole mile, the maximum number of miles Romina can drive is118 miles.
