    Hans rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 16.95, and there was an additional charge of 76 cents for each mile driven. Hans had to pay 152.99 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

    Set up the equation where x is the amount of miles he drove:
    0.76x + 16.95 = 152.99

    Plug this equation into our calculator:
    x = 179 miles
