Math solve the equation for x

Question

Dante rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $18.95, and there was an additional charge of 93 cents for each mile driven. Dante had to pay $210.53 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Answer 1

Hello May.

The equation should be:

18.95 + 0.93x = 210.53 (cancel 18.95 on the left)

0.93x = 191.58 (cancel 0.93)

x = 206

Hope that helps
