#therefore# #color(blue)("He travelled 100 miles"#

Charge per day#=$16.00#
Charge per mile#=$0.15#

If we assume the charge per mile to be x, Jim's bill:

#=>x+4(16)=79#

#=>x+64=79#

#=>x=15#

i.e., He was charged $15 for the miles he drove.

No. of miles he drove #=>15/0.15#

#=>100#

#therefore# #color(blue)("He travelled 100 miles"#
