Question

Omar rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $15.99, and there was an additional charge of 74 cents for each mile driven. Omar had to pay

$166.95 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

`15.99 + 0.74(m)`

`15.99 + 0.74(m) = 166.95`

`15.99 - 15.99 + 0.74(m) = 166.95 - 15.99`

`0.74m = 150.96`

`(0.74m)/(0.74) = (150.96)/(0.74)`

`m = 204`

He drove 204 miles.
