## Step 1The problem involves a linear inequality. The total cost of renting a car is the sum of the daily rental cost and the cost per mile driven. The daily rental cost is
0.08. Rashaad plans to drive 475 miles, so the cost for the miles driven is
.## Step 2Rashaad has a budget of $250, so the total cost of renting the car must not exceed this amount. Therefore, the inequality representing the total number of days Rashaad can rent the car while staying within his budget is:###
## Step 3To solve this inequality, we first isolate the term with the variable
by subtracting 38 from both sides of the inequality:###
## Step 4Then, we divide both sides of the inequality by 53 to solve for
