Question

To take a taxi, it cost $3.00 plus an additional $2.00 per mile traveled. you spent exactly $20 on a taxi, which includes the $1 tip you left. how many miles did you travel?

Answer 1

3.00 + 2m = 20 - 1
3.00 + 2m = 19
2m = 19 - 3
2m = 16
m = 16/2
m = 8.....so u traveled 8 miles

Answer 2

$20 - tip $1 = $19
$19 - $3 = $16
$16 / $2 per mile = 8 miles
