A taxi charges a flat rate of R10, and an additional cost of 30 cents per kilometer. If you have

a maximum of R22, how far can you travel?

Explanation:

so, just by getting into the taxi we have to pay R10.

that leaves us 22 - 10 = R12 for the actual trip.

30 cents per kilometer.

so, how many units of 30 cents are there in R12 ? that is the number of kilometers we can go.

R12 = 1200 cent (right ?)

1200 / 30 = 120 / 3 = 40

so, we can travel 40 kilometers for that money.
