Michael rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $18.99, and there was an additional charge of 87 cents for each mile driven. Michael had to pay $185.16 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

1) 185.16 - 18.99 = 166.17
2) divide 166.17 by 0.87 = 191
3) he drove the truck for 191 miles
