Question

Ezra has $30 to spend on a taxi ride. The taxi company charges a flat rate of $8, plus $2.00 per mile. What is the maximum amount of miles Ezra can afford to travel in this taxi?

-I need this as quick as possible!

Answer 1

The answer is 22 because 8+22=30 I mean if Ezra fitz plans on paying tip he could go around 19 miles but I don’t think the question cars about that also the name Ezra always reminds me of pretty little liars

Answer 2

11 miles

Explanation:

Start by figuring out how much of the money, excluding the flat rate, can be used for mileage:

$30-$8=$22

So $22 can be used for mileage

Divide your mileage total by the amount per mile:

$22÷$2/mile=11 miles

Ezra can travel up to 11 miles
