Question

a taxi charges a flat rate of $1.75, plus an additional $0.65 per mile. if erica has at most $10 to spend on the cab ride, how far could she travel?

Answer 1

Answer : Aliana can go about 12.69 miles with the 10 dollars she has

Step - by - step explanation :

First, you have to remove the flat rate from the 10 dollars ( since it's a secure amount )

What is 10 - 1.75 ? 8.25

Second, to find out how many miles she can go - we do 8.25 divided by 0.65 ( because it's 0.65 cents charged per mile ).

What is 8.25 divided by 0.65 ? 12.6923076923

Answer 2

.65m + 1.75 = 10.00

(.65m = 8.25)100

65m = 825

m= approx 13 miles or 12.69 miles
