First, calculate the total cost for the days rented: 3 days * $24.95/day = $74.85. Then, subtract this amount from the total budget: $200 - $74.85 = $125.15. Finally, divide the remaining budget by the cost per mile: $125.15 / $0.19/mile = 658.68 miles. Since you can only drive whole miles, the answer is 658 miles.
