For this case we have to:

x: Represents the number of miles that can be traveled in a day

We have that the cost of daily car rental is given by the following expression:

[tex]26.20 + 0.35x[/tex]

If the person has a budget of $200 then we have to:

[tex]26.20+0.35x\leq200\\0.35x\leq200-26.20\\0.35x\leq173.8\\x\leq\frac{173.8}{0.35}\\x\leq496.57[/tex]

Thus, you can travel 496 miles in one day.

Answer:

[tex]26.20 + 0.35x \leq200[/tex]
