Question

Sam rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $16.95, and there was an additional charge of 73 cents for each mile driven. Sam
had to pay $172.44 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Answer:  134 miles

Step-by-step explanation:  

f(m) = 16.95 + 0.92m

140.23 = 16.95 + 0.92m

0.92m = 140.23 - 16.95

0.92m = 123.28

m = 123.28/0.92

m = 134 miles
