    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the maximum number of miles that she can drive.

    Riley needs to rent a car while on vacation. The rental company charges $18.95, plus 16 cents for each mile driven. Converting 16 cents to dollars, it becomes 16/100 = $0.16

    Assuming Riley drives the car for x miles, the total charge would be

    0.16x + 18.95

    If Riley only has $50 to spend on the car rental, it means that

    0.16x + 18.95 = 50

    0.16x = 50 - 18.95

    0.16x = 31.05

    x = 31.05/0.16 = 194.0625

    The maximum number of miles that

    she can drive is 194 miles.
