Question

Deshaun rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $16.95, and there was an additional charge of 84 cents for each mile driven. Deshaun had to pay $237.03 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Subtract the rental fee from the total:

237.03 - 16.95 = 220.08

Now divide the remainder by the charge per mile:

220.08 / 0.84 = 262

He drove 262 miles.
