Answer 1

• 3.50×10 +3.50×5.5 +3.50×19 -50 +3.50×26
• $161.75

Explanation:

You want an expression representing the cash flow of a taxi driver after giving three rides, filling the gas tank, then giving one more ride.

Income per ride

At $3.50 per mile, the driver will have income that is $3.50 multiplied by the number of miles for the ride. These income amounts are added.

Outflow

A payment of $50 for gas is subtracted from the driver's income.

Net income

The desired expression is ...

3.50×10 +3.50×5.5 +3.50×19 -50 +3.50×26

The value of the expression is $161.75.

The driver had $161.75 after the last ride.
