Question

Michael rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $20.95, and there was an additional charge of 98 cents for each mile driven. Michael had to pay $157.17 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Answer: He drove 139 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.98x + 20.95= 157.17  where x is the number of miles driven.

             -20.95 =-20.95

0.98x = 136.22

x= 139
