Hong rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of
$17.99
, and there was an additional charge of
75
cents for each mile driven. Hong had to pay
$128.24
when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?
First you want to subtract the base fee from the total cost. 128.24-17.99=110.25 Now you want to divide that from the 75 cents. 110.25 divided by 0.75= 147 The 147 is the total amount of miles driven Check: 147 divided by 0.75= 110.25 110.25 + 17.99= 128.24
