Question

Tom rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $14.95, and there was an additional charge of 73 cents for each mile driven. Tom had to pay $220.81 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Tom drove 282 miles.

Explanation:

x = number of miles driven

220.81 = 14.95 + 0.73x

-14.95 -14.93

205.86 = 0.73x

/0.73 /0.73

282 = x

Hope this helps!
