Maximum number of miles a person can drive is 513 miles.

Step by step solution

01

-Write an inequality

Let the number of miles a person can drive be x

As rent for 1 mile is $0.15, so rent for x miles is $0.15x

Since, sum of $12.95and $0.15xgives total rent of each day which must be less than or equal to $90. Thus, inequality is

12.95+0.15x90

02

- Write properties of inequality

Properties of inequalities are written in following table:

03

- Simplify 12.95+0.15x≤90

To simplify given inequality, use subtraction and division property of inequalities. Subtract a number from both sides of inequality does not change its sign. Also divide both sides by same positive number does not reverse the sign of inequality as shown below

12.9512.95+0.15x9012.950.15x77.050.15x0.1577.050.15x513.67

Thus, maximum number of miles a person can drive is 513 miles.
