D. 16 miles

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 34 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to subtract $3.50 from $60. Now you have $56.50. Now you want to divide that by $1.65, to see how many miles you can achieve with your price limit. So, now you have a grand total of 34.24. You round that, and you finally have your answer.

The answer to this problem is A. 34 miles
