    The answer is: 4,500 miles

    Explanation:

    Lesa can only deduct 4,500 miles as transportation expenses form her taxable income. She could include any other related expenses like parking fees, tolls, etc., that she spent during her business related trips.

    The 7,000 miles she drove to and form work are not considered business expenses, since going to work is not an actual part of working. It's like an employee trying to get paid for the time he or she spends in a bus going to work.
