Question

Frank rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $17.99, and there was an additional charge of 79 cents for each mile driven. Frank had to pay $224.97 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

262 miles

Explanation:

Total charge= $224.97

Take off the amount for the base fee

224.97-17.99= 206.98

$206.98 is the amount paid for the additional charge

206.98/0.79= 262 miles
