Yuan needs to take a taxi to get to the movies. The taxi charges $4.00 for the first mile, and then $2.75 for each mile after that. If the total charge is $19.13, how far is Yuan's taxi ride to the movie?

well okay so $19.13 - $4.00 = $15.13 $15.13 / $2.75 = 5.50181818 so that is 5.5 the 5.5 + 1 = 6.5


THE ANSWER IS 6.5 MILES

19.13 -4.00 = 15.13

15.13/2.75 = 5.50 miles

5.50+1 = 6.50 miles
