Let be "m" the number of miles that were driven.
According to the information given in the exercise, they charge $0.75 per mile to rent a 15-foot truck for a day. Then, you can set up the following expression to represent the cost to drive the truck "m" miles:
The initial fee is $34.10. Since this is a fixed price, you can set up the following expression to represent the total cost:
Knowing that the total bill is $94.85, you can set up the following equation to represent this situation:
Then, to find the number of miles driven, you need to solve for "m":
Therefore, the answer is:
- Equation:
- 81 miles were driven.
