Question

Uber charges $3.50 for pick up and $0.40 per mile. The ride costs $7.50. Create the equation to solve this problem.

Answer 1

3.50 + 0.40x = 7.50

Explanation:

$3.50 is the base pay

$0.40 is charge per mile, we don't know how many miles so we label that as 'x'

Then solve for 'x' to figure out how many miles Uber charged you for.

x=10
