Round trip = 4 Miles

Total Distance = 300 Miles

Miles already Driven = 100 Miles.

300 Miles - 100 Miles = 200 Miles.

200 Miles / 4 Miles = 50 (Miles cancel put). So, he can drive his car for the next 50 days according to the equation. (There is no set/particular equation for these kid of problems).
