Omar rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $17.95, and there was an additional charge of 98 cents for each mile driven. Omar had to pay $23 when he returned the truck. For how many mile did he drive the truck?

Answer: Omar drove the truck for 5.15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Base fee = 17.95 $

Additional charge per mile = 98 cents = 0.98 $ ( 100cents = 1$)

Now Omar payed = 22 $

Let the miles he travelled = x

Now , $17.95+0.98\times x=23$

Solvimg for x :

$x=5.15miles$

Thus Omar drove the truck for 5.15 miles

Answer:

126 children
63 adults
60 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the number of adults that attended. Then 2a is the number of children, and (249 -a -2a) is the number of students. The total revenue is ...

5(2a) +7(249 -3a) +12a = 1806

a +1743 = 1806 . . . . simplify; next, subtract 1743

a = 63 . . . . . . . . adults

2a = 126 . . . . . . children

249 -3a = 60 . . students

126 children, 63 adults, and 60 students attended.
