Jim rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $17.99, and there was an additional charge of 76 cents for each mile driven. Jim had to pay $236.11 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

287 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The base fee was $17.99 and an additional 76 cents ($0.76) for every mile.

We can represent the amount he will pay for rent with the equation below:

C = 17.99 + 0.76m

where m = number of miles driven

Jim paid $236.11, therefore:

236.11 = 17.99 + 0.76m

0.76m = 236.11 - 17.99

0.76m =218.12

m = 218.12 / 0.76 = 287 miles

Jim drove 287 miles.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24
