How much did he pay?..... call it C, for cost
How much is the flat fee for pickup?... call it B, for base price
How much is it per mile?...., call it R, for RATE
Then C = B + nR where n is the # of miles
Solves for N:
C - B = nR
(C-B)/R = n
where C,B and R are given above..
Plug those numbers in to find your answer
