Mrs.Rodriguez is on a buisness trip and must rent a car to attend various meetings. she has a budget of $60 per rental for milage charges. what is the greatest nuber of miles Mrs.Rodriguez can travel without going over her budget

Answer 1

So you want to set up a little equation like this:\[60=0.12x\] This says that her budget equals the price times the number of miles.

Answer 2

Next you want to get that x by itself. So you divide by 0.12
\[\frac{ 60 }{ 0.12 }=x\]

Answer 3

Now divide that and you have your answer
