In New York, an Uber costs $15 plus $1.84 per mile. If you are traveling from the airport, there is an additional charge of $7.95 for tolls.

How far can you travel from the airport by Uber for $45.84?

a.14 miles
b.10 miles
c.12 miles
d.23 miles

Answer 1

Answer: C; 12 miles

Solution:

1) Add the initial Uber cost ($15) and airport toll charge:

$22.95

2) Subtract 22.95 from 45.84

$22.89 to spend on miles

3) Divide 1.84 (cost per mile) from 22.89

≈ 12.44 miles

Round down to 12 miles or option C
