80.00 - 10.95 = 69.05

Divide 69.05 by. 15.

69.05/. 15 = 460.33 (round down to 460)

You have a limit of 460 miles.

Hello! For this inequality, we can write and solve an inequality. Set it up like this.

10.95 + 0.15m ≤ 80

This is because there is a fixed budget of $10.95, you pay $0.15 per mile, and you can spend no more than $80. First off, subtract 10.95 from both sides in order to get 0.15m ≤ 69.05. Now, divide each side by 0.15 to isolate the vairable 'm". 69.05/0.15 is 460.3333333 or just simply 460 1/3 in fraction form. You must stay within 460 1/3 miles in order to stay on budget.
