Question

Sam rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $14.95, and there was an additional charge of 97 cents for each mile driven. Sam had to pay $265.21 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?​

Answer 1

258 miles

Explanation:

y = # miles truck driven

m = each mile driven

y = 14.95 + 0.97m

265.21 = 14.95 + 0.97m

250.26 = 0.97m

m = 258

Answer 2

258. 265.21-14.95=250.26 divide that by .97 and you get 258 miles
