Let's calculate the cost for Melanie to rent a car and drive 50 miles.
The cost per day is $33.27 and the cost per mile is $0.07.
First, let's calculate the cost for driving 50 miles:
50 miles * $0.07/mile = $3.50
The total cost for driving 50 miles is $3.50.
Now, let's calculate how many days Melanie can afford to rent the car:
$120 (budget) - $3.50 (cost for driving 50 miles) = $116.50
Since the cost per day is $33.27, Melanie can afford to rent the car for a maximum of:
$116.50 / $33.27 = 3.51 days
Since Melanie cannot rent the car for a fraction of a day, she can rent the car for a maximum of 3 days.
In conclusion, Melanie can rent the car for a maximum of 3 days and drive 50 miles.
A rental car company charges $33.27 per day to rent a car and $0.07 for every mile driven. Melanie wants to rent a car, knowing that:
She plans to drive 50 miles.
She has at most $120 to spend.
