Question

Tony rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $18.99 , and there was an additional charge of 72 cents for each mile driven. Tony had to pay $208.35 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Answer: Let the number of miles he drove be represented by "x".

It is .77 cents every mile he drives.With a base fee of 14.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.77x+14.99= 204.41

0.77x=204.41-14.99

0.77x =189.42

x= 189.42 / 0.77

x= 190/0.77

=246 miles he drove in one day.
