    Answer:

    the maximum no of miles she can drive is 147

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us assume the number of miles be x

    Now the equation is

    $17.95 + 0.15x = $40

    0.15x = $40 – $17.95

    0.15x = $22.05

    x = $22.05 ÷ 0.15

    = 147 miles

    Hence, the maximum no of miles she can drive is 147
