Question

michael rented a truck for one day. there was a base fee of $20.95 , and there was an additional charge of 93 cents for each mile driven. michael had to pay $200.44 when he returned the truck. for how many miles did he drive the

Answer 1

Let x = number of miles, cost per mile = 93 cents = $0.93

Cost = 20.95 + 0.93*x

200.44 = 20.95 + 0.93x

0.93x + 20.95 = 200.44

0.93x = 200.44 - 20.95

0.93x = 179.49

x = 179.49/0.93

x = 193

He drove 193 miles.
