Let d be the number of days. Cost = 49.67d + 0.14(475) ≤ 290.
Mileage cost = 0.14×475 = 66.50, so 49.67d ≤ 290 − 66.50 = 223.50.
Thus d ≤ 223.50 ÷ 49.67 ≈ 4.50, so the maximum whole number of days is 4.
Mileage cost = 0.14×475 = 66.50, so 49.67d ≤ 290 − 66.50 = 223.50.
Thus d ≤ 223.50 ÷ 49.67 ≈ 4.50, so the maximum whole number of days is 4.
