Question 637086: Keith rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $15.95, and there was an additional charge of 73 cents for each mile driven. Keith had to pay $173.63 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck? Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 15.95+.73x=173.63
.73x=173.63-15.95
.73x=157.68
x=157.68/.73
x=216 miles driven.
PROOF;
15.95+.73*216=173.63
15.95+157.68=173.63
173.63=173.63
