Answer:
$4
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi! Looking at this problem, you know that 2.50 is already added, meaning you can make a problem that looks somewhat like this;
“2.50 + 0.20x = y”
x = miles & y = total delivery charge
So for the multiplication, let’s do the math below.
1. 0.20 • 6 = 1.20 — Meaning our problem would look more like “2.50 + 1.20 = y”
2. 2.50 + 1.20 = $4

I hope this helped, be safe.
