Question

Scott rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $18.99, and there was an additional charge of 92 cents for each mile driven. Scott had to pay $150.55 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

I need to find how many miles ​

Answer 1

143 miles

Explanation:

Let x = number of miles

Let y = total cost

150.55 = .92x + 18.99 Multiply all the way through by 100 to clear the decimal

15055 = 92x + 1899 Subtract 1899 from both sides

13156 = 92x Divide both sides by 92

143 = x
