Uber charges $5.00 plus $.35/mile to take someone to a destination. Jen needed a

ride to the airport. Her total cost was $17.60. How many miles was she away from the
airport?

Answer:

36

Explanation:

First you have to do 17.60 minus the fee ($5) giving you 12.6

after that you want to X the .35 by 36 which will make you reach 12.6

so by that it is 36 miles X the .35 Per mile fee giving you 36 miles (sorry if that made no sense)
