Question

Mia took a taxi from her house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $1.30 plus $4.25 per mile. The total fare was $31.05, not including the tip. How many miles was the taxi ride?

Answer 1

7 miles

Explanation:

hey

minus 1.30 from 31.05 because that is the pickup fee, so 31.05-1.30= 29.75

and then divide 29.75 by 4.25 therefore 29.75/4.25=7
