Question

A taxi service charges a flat fee of $1.25 and $0.75 per mile. If Henri has $14.00, which of the following shows the number of miles he can afford to ride in the taxi?

Answer 1

17 because 14.00-1.25=12.75 and so then you would divide 12.75 by .75 which is 17.

Answer 2

14.00-1.25=12.75 and then you would divide it 12.75 by .75 which is m<17
