Answer:

219 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim paid $186.77 in total.

The base fee was $15.95

$186.77 - $15.95 = $170.82

The base fee was taken care of, the rest of the money was spent on the number of miles he drove.

For each mile he needs to pay 78 cents (Aka 0.78).

$170.82 ÷ 0.78 = 219

Jim drove 219 miles.
