Sam rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $ 14.99 , and there was an additional charge of 90 cents for each mile driven. Sam had to pay $ 252.59 when he returned the truck. [ For how many miles did he drive the truck?
14.99+.9x=252.59;
.9x=252.59-14.99;
.9x=237.60;
x=237.60/.9;
x=264
Therefore, the number of miles he drove the truck is 264 miles. ]
