Answer: 244 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can subtract 20.95 from 218.59 because we need to determine how many miles Tom drove.

218.59 - 20.95 = 197.64

Next, we can divide that by 0.81 for the 81 cents per mile.

197.64/0.81 = 244

We can conclude that Tom drove 244 miles.

Answer: x=244

Step-by-step explanation: you set up the equation 20.95+0.81x=218.59

then you subtract 20.95 from 218.59 then divide by 0.81 then the answer is 244
