Answer:

226 miles

Explanation:

Sorry this question couldn't be answered sooner, but here is the answer now:

In order to solve this, we must first subtract the total Chris paid by the base fee:

227.17 - 16.99 = 210.18

Then, we divide this number by 0.93:

210.18 / 0.93 = 226

So, Chris drove the truck 226 miles

Hope this helps :)
