The number of days Bilquis can afford to rent while staying within her budget is 2 days.

How to solve the inequality

The question has the following data

amount charged =  $48

Rent per mile = $0.08

The mile to drive = 175 miles.

Amount to spend = 110 dollars

The inequality would be written as

48x + 0.08(175) ≤ 110

we are to solve for the value of x

this would be

48x + 14 ≤ 110

48x ≤ 110 - 14

48x ≤ 96

We have to divide through by 48

x ≤ 96 / 48

x ≤ 2

Hence we can say that the number of days Bilquis can afford to rent while staying within her budget is 2 days.
