Question

Jim rented a truck for one day. there was a base fee for $19.95 and there was an additional charge of 91 cents for each mile driven. Jim had to pay $243.81 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

First you’ll subtract the base fee, which is 19.95 from the price payed, 243.81

243.81
-19.95
223.86

Now take 223.86, your remainder and divide it by .91, you will get 246, meaning Jim traveled 246 miles.

Answer: Jim travelled 246 Miles.
