    He drove the truck for 234 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of miles for which he drove the truck.

    There was a base fee of $20.99, and there was an additional charge of. 96 cents for each mile driven. It means that the expression for the cost of driving the truck for x miles in a day is

    20.99 + 0.96x

    Trey has to pay $245.63 when he returned the truck. It means that

    20.99 + 0.96x = 245.63

    0.96x = 245.63 - 20.99

    0.96x = 224.64

    x = 224.64/0.96

    x = 234 miles
