Question

Bill rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $16.95, and there was an additional charge of 82 cents for each mile driven. Bill had to pay$222.77 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

251 miles

Explanation:

To answer this, we first must subtract the total Bill ended up paying by the base fee:

222.77 - 16.95 = 205.82

Now, we divide this total by 82 cents:

205.82 / 0.82 = 251

So, Bill drove the truck 251 miles

Hope this helps :)
