Question

Jade is stranded downtown with only $10 to get home. Taxis cost $0.75 per mile, but there is an additional $2.35 "hire" charge. Write a formula and use it to calculate how many miles Jade can travel with her money.

Answer 1

10=0.75x + 2.35

She starts with 10 dollars and when she get a taxi they will charge 0.75 per mile (x) and this will add a 2.35 fee at the end

If we solve for x formula ends as:
X=(10-2.35)/0.75
