Answer:

  • 5 days maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • Daily charge = $68.80
  • Charge per mile = $0.08
  • Target distance = 325 miles
  • Money limit = $370

Required inequality:

  • 68.8d + 325*0.08 ≤ 370

Solving for d:

  • 68.8d + 26 ≤ 370
  • 68.8d ≤ 344
  • d ≤ 344/68.8
  • d ≤ 5

Up to 5 days is the answer
