Chad Warner · Answer 1

500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

John has a budget of $215 after paying the $85 for the week he is left with $130 to spend on distance

215-85=130

130/0.26=500

therefore he can travel 500 miles

Eddie Thompson · Answer 2

The equation to solve this would be 85+0.26x=215

And then you would solve for x

X=500

So he can travel 500 miles
