Chau rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $20.99, and there was an additional charge of 79 cents for each mile driven. Chau had to pay $130.80 when he returned the truck. For how many miles did he drive the truck?

Chau drove 139 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing how much Chau spent at the end makes the question much much easier. So what you want to do is take of the base fee ($20.99) off the final amount he had to pay.

$130.80 - $20.99 = $109.81

Now you divide $109.81 by the additional charge ($0.79)

Change the divisor (0.79) to a whole number by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend (109.81) the same, 2 places to the right.

We then have the equations:

10981 ÷ 79 = 139.000

and therefore:

109.81 ÷ 0.79 = 139.000

Chau drove 139 miles.

the clues that signal the reader should change tone are the punctuation marks, the grammatical signs. for example, the quotation marks at the beginning of something someone else said literally or the exclamation marks.

the tone of the first line of dialogue until "gettysburg" is a kind tone, a tone of advise. the narrator is trying to the other person in doing something he or she obviously is finding hard to do by giving a piece of advise and bringing up a memory of a successful similar case.

the clue that the reader understand how to read the word "bang" is the exclamation mark. it gives the word a surprise tone, a strong accent.

the best tone for reading the word "bang" is an exciting tone, a surprise one, even a loud one.

the words that should be read with a formal tone are the ones that give factual information. the sentence: mister lincoln couldn't think of anything to say at the gettysburg" gives information about an event and it needs to be read formally, also, when the narrator wants to transmit calmness, a formal and slow tone is needed, because people also transmit messages with the vibrations of our voices and tones.

the solution is 12x-6y
