Question

Deandre rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of

$14.95
, and there was an additional charge of
84
cents for each mile driven. Deandre had to pay
$217.39
when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

He drove 238 miles in the truck. That is $217.39 minus the $14.95 base fee. That leaves $202.44. $202.44 divided by $0.84 for each mile equals 238 miles.

Answer 2

I am not sure but this is what I got-

217.39-14.95 to find the cost before the base fee. which is 202.44

then i did this= 202.44 / .84= 241

so the answer is 241 miles
