Question

Mike took a taxi from his home to the airport the taxi driver charged an initial fee of six dollars +3 dollars per mile for total fare was $24 not including the tip how many miles and make travel by a taxi on his ride

Answer 1

Mike traveled 6 miles. Because, we subtract the initial fee from $24, we now have $18, and we divide by 3 since its $3 per mile.

Answer 2

Since it gives us 24 and initial fee was 3, we must subtract 3 from 24 to get 21.

Next, we divide 21 by 6 to get 3.5.

Therefore, the answer is 3.5 miles by taxi.

Hope this helps.
