Got an rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $20.95, and there was an additional charge of 76 cents for each mile driven. Goes. Had to pay $216.27 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} 20.96+0.76m=216.27 \\ \\ \Rightarrow0.76m=216.27-20.96 \\ \\ \Rightarrow m=(195.31)/(0.76)=257\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`
