Question

And one US city the taxi cost is five dollars plus $.60 per mile if you are traveling from the airport there is an additional charge of five dollars for toll how far can you travel from the airport by taxi for $46

Answer 1

Let the number of miles be x.

Then, x miles cost 0.6x.

The initial fixed fee is $5, and the toll is $5.

cost = initial fixed fee + cost per mile + toll

46 = 5 + 0.6x + 5

0.6x + 10 = 46

0.6x = 36

x = 36/0.6

x = 60

You can travel 60 miles.

Answer 2

60 miles.

Explanation:

One US city the taxi cost is $5.00 and $0.60 per mile.

if you are traveling from the airport there is an additional charge of $5.00 for toll.

your total charge for airport by taxi is $46.00

Let the distance be covered = d miles

the equation will be

(fixed cost + toll) + (cost per mile × distance) = total charges

($5 + $5) +(0.60d) = $46.00

10 + 0.60d = 46.00

0.60d = 46.00 - 10

0.60d = 36

d =
`(36)/(0.60)`

d = 60 miles

You traveled 60 miles for airport by taxi.
