    He drove 156 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total cost of the truck is the base fee plus the miles drive times the cost per mile

    Total cost = 17.99 +.92m

    161.51 = 17.99 +.92m

    Subtract 17.99 from each side

    161.51-17.99 = 17.99 - 17.99 +.92m

    143.52 =.92m

    Divide each side by. 92

    143.52/.92 =.92m/.92

    156 = m

    He drove 156 miles
