Question

Bob rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $16.99 , and there was an additional charge of 93 cents for each mile driven. Bob had to pay $211.36 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Answer: Bob drove 2.09 miles

Let's think,"m" as the miles be driven

211.36= 16.99 + 93m

93m =211.36 - 16.99

m= 194.37/93

m= 2.09

Answer 2

He drove 18,075.48 miles

Explanation:

Since he was charged $17 to begin with, we subtract 17 by $211.36 and get 194.63, then we multiply our answer by 93 to get the exact amount of miles he drove. We then get the product of 18,075.48 miles.
