Question

Sam rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $15.99, and there was an additional charge of 97 cents for each mile driven. Sam had to pay $187.68
when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Answer:

177

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must subtract the base fee from the total amount of the bill:$187.68 - 15.99= 171.69$

Then divide the remaining amount of the bill by the charge of .97 cents per mile:$171.69/.97=177$

Hope this helps!
