Question

A taxi charges $7.75 plus $0.56 per mile.

Ryan rode 14 miles to work.

He walked half way home.

How much does he pay for the taxi ride per day?

Answer 1

$7.75+$7.75=$15.50 (He took the taxi 2x)
$0.56(14)+$0.56(7)=$11.76 (14 miles on the way to work, 7 miles on the way home since he only rode half way and walked the other half)
$15.50+$11.76=$27.26
Ryan pays $27.76 for the taxi ride per day.
