Question

Henry rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 15.99 , and there was an additional charge of 79 cents for each mile driven. Henry had to pay 115.58 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Subtract base fee from total then divide by price per mile:

115.58 - 15.99 = 99.59

99.59 / 0.79 = 126.063 miles

Round the answer as needed.
