    441 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Write and solve an inquality to answer this question:

    ($24.95/day) (2 days) + ($0.34/mile) x ≤ $200

    The first term becomes $49.30; the second term $0.34x; their sum must be ≤ $200.

    More concisely, 49.30 + 0.34x ≤ 200.

    Isolate x by subtracting 49.30 from both sides:

    0.34x ≤ 150.10.

    Divide both sides by 0.34:

    x ≤ 150.10/0.34, or 441.47 miles. You must round this off to the nearest whole mile, which would be 441 miles.
