Question

frank rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 14.95, and there was an additional charge of 78 cents for each mile driven. Frank had to pay $134.29 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck

Answer 1

Answer : 153 miles

Explanation : first take 134.29 & subtract the 14.95 base fee which give you 119.34 . now divide 119.34 by 78 which gives you 1.53. so he drove 153 miles.
equation : 14.95+ 0.78x = 134.29 . to double check just multiply 153 x 0.78 and add $14.95 which gives us the total of $134.29
