Question

Eric rented a truck for one day the base fee was 16.95 for additional charge of .76 cents for each mile driven eric had to pay 152.23 when he returned the truck how many miles did he drive

Answer 1

Answer:

178 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Eric has driven d miles.

As the rate of charge of driving the truck = 76 cents /mile

So, the charge of driving the truck for d miles = 76d cents= $0.76d

The base fee of the truck was $16.95.

Total money paid at the time of returning the truck = $152.23

So, 16.95+0.76d=152.23

0.76d= 152.23-16.95=135.28

d=135.28/0.76

d=178

Hence, he drives 178 miles.
