Michael rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 18.95 , and there was an additional charge of 76 cents for each mile driven. Michael had to pay 215.79 when he returned the truck.

Question

For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Michael had a total expense of 215.79. We know Michael paid 18.95 to lock in his truck and then paid .76 for each mile. An equation that represents this is 215.79 = 18.95 + .76x.

Solve for x.

Answer 2

215.79 = 18.95 + 0.76m

Can you solve for m and answer?
