The total cost of renting the car for one day is $25.20 + 0.20m$, where $m$ is the number of miles driven. Since Mike can afford to spend $57$ dollars, we have the equation:$$25.20 + 0.20m = 57$$Solving for $m$, we get:$$0.20m = 31.80$$$$m = 159$$Therefore, Mike can drive $159$ miles and stay within his budget.
