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.

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
