You can put this solution on YOUR website! Boris rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 14.99, and there was an additional charge of 77 cents for each mile driven. Boris had to pay 204.41 when he retured the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?
let the number of miles he drove be x
per mile the cost is $0.77
Base fee is 14.99
0.77x+14.99= 204.41
0.77x=204.41-14.99
0.77x =189.42
x= 189.42 / 0.77
x= 190/0.77
=246 miles he drove in one day
