    I. 37+0.2m≤95

    II. The greatest Distance you can drive each day is 290 miles.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The cost of a car rental is $37 per day plus 20 cents per mile.

    Let the number of miles driven be represented by m.

    Therefore costs of miles driven

    =20 cents X m = $0.2 X m = $0.2m

    Total Cost Per day = Rental Cost + Cost of Miles Driven = 37+0.2m

    Since the daily budget is $95, the total cost must be less than or equal to $95.

    That is,

    37+0.2m≤95 ... (I)

    This is the inequality that represents the greatest distance possible.

    Next, we solve for m

    37+0.2m≤95

    0.2m≤95-37

    0.2m≤58

    m≤58/0.2

    m≤290

    The greatest Distance you can drive each day is 290 miles.
