Question

Goran rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $17.99 , and there was an additional charge of 75 cents for each mile driven. Goran had to pay $191.24 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Cost of the total miles travelled
= $191.24 - $17.99
= $173.25

Miles travelled
= $173.25 ÷ 0.75
= 129.9375 miles
≈ 130 miles (3s.f)
