1. **State the problem:** Emily has a budget of 720 and wants to rent from either Company A or Company B. Company A charges a setup fee of 80 plus 135 per day. Company B charges 135 per day with no setup fee. We need to find which company allows the maximum number of rental days within the budget.
2. **Formulas:**
- Total cost for Company A: $$\text{Cost}_A = 80 + 135d$$ where $d$ is the number of days.
- Total cost for Company B: $$\text{Cost}_B = 135d$$
3. **Calculate maximum days for Company A:**
$$80 + 135d \leq 720$$
Subtract 80 from both sides:
$$135d \leq 720 - 80$$
$$135d \leq 640$$
Divide both sides by 135:
$$d \leq \frac{640}{135} \approx 4.74$$
Since days must be whole numbers, maximum days for Company A is 4.
4. **Calculate maximum days for Company B:**
$$135d \leq 720$$
Divide both sides by 135:
$$d \leq \frac{720}{135} \approx 5.33$$
Maximum whole days for Company B is 5.
5. **Compare results:**
- Company A allows 4 days.
- Company B allows 5 days.
6. **Conclusion:** Company B allows for the maximum number of rental days within Emily's budget.
**Final answer:** Company B
