Solution

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

  1. First, we need to subtract the base fee from the total amount paid. This will give us the total amount paid for the miles driven.

    So, 273.84(totalamount)273.84 (total amount) - 19.95 (base fee) = $253.89

  2. Next, we need to find out how many miles were driven. We do this by dividing the total amount paid for the miles by the cost per mile.

    So, 253.89(totalamountformiles)÷253.89 (total amount for miles) ÷ 0.93 (cost per mile) = 273 miles

Therefore, Keith drove the truck for 273 miles.
