<u>Answer</u>:
Felipe drove the truck for 1.26 miles
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given :
Base fee = $14.95
Additional charge for each mile driven = 87 cents
Amount Felipe paid when he returned the truck = $124.57
To Find:
How many miles did he drive the truck =?
Solution:
Let number of miles Felipe drove be X
Then according to the question,
Base fare + 87(number of miles driven) = 124.57
Substituting the known values,
14.95 + 87(x) = 124.57
124.57- 14.95 = 87 x
109.62 = 8x
x =
x = 1.26
