Question 351505: Billy rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 18.99 ,
and there was an additional charge of 50 cents for each mile driven.
Billy had to pay 227.07 when he returned the truck. For how many miles
did he drive the truck?
I just want to be sure I did this right.
18.99 + .50(x) = 227.07
.50(x) = 208.08
x = 416.16
Thanks for the help, anyone who answers!
