    Let's start with the known information.

    There is a set value, which is $25.50. Next it was given that the rate is $1.50 per mile. Lastly, Jack does not want to spend more than $60 total.

    With these information, you can set up an inequality.

    Let x be the number of miles.

    1.50x + 25.50 ≤ 60

    Subtract 25.50 on both sides

    1.50x ≤ 34.50

    Divide both sides by 1.5

    x ≤ 23

    This means that the greatest number of miles Jack can drive is 23.
