Chau rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $18.95, and there was an additional charge of 95 cents for each mile driven. Chau had to pay $198.50 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Let's say John drove 2 miles. He had to pay the base fee of $18.99 and $.75(2) = $1.50, so he paid $20.49 total.

We are given his total, though, and asked to find the mileage.

18.99 + .75m = 199.74

-18.99 -18.99

.75m = 180.75

.75 .75

m = 241

So, John drove 241 miles.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
