Question

Wright and equation.

Frank rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $15.95, and there was an additional charge of 99 cents for each mile driven. Frank had to pay $145.64 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

131 Miles

Explanation:

145.64 = 15.95 + .99m

Subtract 15.95 from both sides

129.69 = .99m

divide .99 from both sides to get the variable by itself

131 = m

Answer 2

131 miles

Explanation:

145.64 - 15.95 = 129.69

129.69 / 0.99 = 131

Frank drove the rental truck for 131 miles.
