Question

Goran rented a truck for one day There was a base fee of $ 19.99 , and there was an additional charge of 81 cents for each mile driven Goran had to pay $ 220.06 when he returned the truck For how many miles did he drive the truck ?

Answer 1

247 miles

Explanation:

Let x = number of miles driven

Given:

• Base fee = $19.99
• Charge per mile = $0.81
• Total paid = $220.06

⇒ 19.99 + 0.81x = 220.06

subtract 19.99 from both sides:

⇒ 0.81x = 200.07

divide both sides by 0.81:

⇒ x = 247

Therefore, he drove the truck for 247 miles
