QuestionJosh rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $\$ 19.95$, and there was an additional charge of 77 cents for each mile driven. Josh had to pay $\$ 133.14$ when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck? $\square$ miles

Studdy Solution
Solve the equation for the number of miles driven.
Subtract the base fee from both sides to isolate the term with $m$:
$$0.77m = 133.14 - 19.95$$
Calculate the right side:
$$0.77m = 113.19$$
Divide both sides by 0.77 to solve for $m$:
$$m = \frac{113.19}{0.77}$$
Calculate the division:
$$m \approx 147$$
Josh drove approximately $\boxed{147}$ miles.
