Chau rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $18.95, and there was an additional charge of 95 cents for each mile driven. Chau had to pay $198.50
when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Respuesta :

Let's say John drove 2 miles. He had to pay the base fee of $18.99 and $.75(2) = $1.50, so he paid $20.49 total.

We are given his total, though, and asked to find the mileage.

18.99 + .75m = 199.74

-18.99 -18.99

.75m = 180.75

.75 .75

m = 241

So, John drove 241 miles.

Hope this helps!
