You are driving your car to school and all of sudden the gauges go crazy and your car starts sputtering and smoking. You have to pull off on the side of the road.It will cost $48 to get a tow truck to pick you up. He then will charge you $0.51 per mile. If your total bill was $64.83, how many miles did you have to be towed?

The correct answer is 33 miles. So take the total $64.83 and take $48 from it. That leaves you $16.83. So then, take $0.51 and multiply it by 33. This equals back up to $16.83, which is 33 miles.
