Question

Gavin took a taxi home from the airport. The taxi fare was $7 plus an additional $0.65 per mile.

Gavin gives the driver a $3 tip when he arrives home. If Gavin paid a total of $62.65 with the tip,
what is the distance between the airport and Gavin's house?

Answer 1

81 miles, he paid 7$ and 3$ for a total of 10$ not including the expense per miles, so you would subtract 10$ off of 62.65$ to get 52.65$ for how much he paid for the distance, and then divide 52.65$ by 0.65$ to get 81 miles

Answer 2

81

Explanation:

$62.65-$7-$3=$52.65

Distance->52.65÷0.65=81
