Question

The Hulk just flew into the Boston airport to visit some family, but due to car problems, they are

unable to pick him up. He only has $20 on him. He needs to call a cab that costs $1.75 initially and
$.65 per mile. How far will he be able to go? If his family lives 25 miles away, will the cab be able to
get him to his family?

Answer 1

Yes, he will be able to afford 25 miles

Explanation:

20.00 - 1.75 = 18.25

He will have $18.25 after the initial payment.

18.25 / 0.65 = 28~

He will be able to go 28 miles with the 18 dollars he has left.
