Starlin's trip must last fewer than Response area days.
Starlin's trip must last fewer than 4 days.
To determine the maximum number of days Starlin's trip can last, we need to find the number of days that would exceed his budget of $415.
So far, Starlin has spent $25 on gas. He plans to spend $100 each day on other expenses.
Let's set up an equation to represent the total amount Starlin will spend on his trip:
Total trip cost = Gas cost + (Other expenses per day * Number of days)
Since Starlin wants to spend less than $415, we can write the inequality:
Total trip cost < $415
Substituting the values we know:
25 + (100 * d) < 415
Simplifying the equation:
25 + 100d < 415
Now, to solve for the maximum number of days (d), we can isolate the variable:
100d < 415 - 25
100d < 390
Finally, dividing both sides of the inequality by 100:
d < 390/100
d < 3.9
We know that the number of days (d) must be a whole number, so the maximum number of days for Starlin's trip is 3 days.
Therefore, the answer is "3" for the number of days Starlin's trip must last.
