Question 51329
Michael paid a total of $95.74 when he returned the truck.  So, if we first deduct (subtract) the rental fee of $20.99 to see what he actually paid for mileage.  Then we can divide the remainder by $0.25 to see how many miles he drove.

(Total cost - rental fee)/$0.25 = number of miles driven.
($95.74 - $20.99}/$0.25 = ($74.75)/$0.25 = 299

So Michael paid for 299 miles
