Answer 1

Answer:

Camille's taxi ride to the airport is 19 miles

Explanations:

The amount charged for the first mile = $4.00

The amount charged for each mile after the first mile = $2.50

Let the total number of miles traveled after the first mile be n

The total charge = $49.00

The cost of the miles traveled after the first mile = 2.50n

The total cost = Cost of the first mile + Cost of the miles traveled after the first mile

49 = 4 + 2.50n

2.50n = 49 - 4

2.50n = 45

n = 45 / 2.50

n = 18

He traveled 18 miles after the first mile

The total number of miles traveled = 1 + 18 = 19

Camille's taxi ride to the airport is 19 miles
