Question

Michael rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 14.99, and there was an additional charge of 97 cents for each mile driven. Michael had to pay $135.27 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

124 miles

Explanation:

total charge = charge per mile + base fee

c = 0.97m + 14.99

135.27 = 0.97m + 14.99

120.28 = 0.97m

m = 124

Answer: 124 miles
