    Henry drove the truck for 208 miles

    Solution:

    Given that,

    Base fee = $ 18.95

    Additional charge of $.79 for each mile driven

    Let "x" be the miles driven

    Henry had to pay $183.27 when he returned the truck

    Therefore,

    Cost for rent = base fee + charge for "x" miles

    183.27 = 18.95 + 0.79x

    0.79x = 183.27 - 18.95

    0.79x = 164.32

    Divide both sides by 0.79

    x = 208

    Thus Henry drove for 208 miles the truck
