Given :
Total cost = $200
Cost of renting a sports utility vehicle per day = $22.50
Cost of renting a sports utility vehicle for 3 days = 3 × 22.50 = $67.5
Cost of 1 mile drive = $0.50
Let the number of miles driven be x
Then, 67.50 + 0.50x = 200
0.50x = 200 - 67.50
0.50x = 132.50
x = 132.50/0.50
x = 265
Thus, Gloria drive for 265 miles.
