Question

Chris rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $14.99, and there was an additional charge of 75 cents for each mile driven. Chris had to pay

$167.24 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?
M miles

Answer 1

Chris drove the truck 203 miles.

Explanation

So, first I subtracted the base free cost of the amount he paid and got $152.25. Then, I divided $152.25/0.75 and got 203. S0, that's how I got the answer. I subtracted the base free because we know he had to pay that initially and then I just divided the rest of the money he had to pay by 0.75 because he was charge 0.75 per mile driven.
