Let x = number of miles needed





(72/day)(7days) + (.16/mile)x %26gt; (144/day)(7) + (.08/mile)x





504 + .16x %26gt; 1008 + .08x





.08x %26gt; 504





x %26gt; 6300 miles











Unless you meant $72/week %26amp; $144/week:





72 + .16x %26gt; 144 + .08x





.08x %26gt; 72





x %26gt; 900 miles
