Chau rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $20.99, and there was an additional charge of 79 cents for each mile driven. Chau had to pay $130.80 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Chau drove 139 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing how much Chau spent at the end makes the question much much easier. So what you want to do is take of the base fee ($20.99) off the final amount he had to pay.

$130.80 - $20.99 = $109.81

Now you divide $109.81 by the additional charge ($0.79)

Change the divisor (0.79) to a whole number by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend (109.81) the same, 2 places to the right.

We then have the equations:

10981 ÷ 79 = 139.000

and therefore:

109.81 ÷ 0.79 = 139.000

Chau drove 139 miles.
