Question

A taxi ride costs $3 plus $2.50 per mile. if sasha has 37 in cash,what is the greatest whole number of miles she can ride in this taxi? 25 points if done with explanation and correct answer

Answer 1

13 miles is the greatest whole number of miles she can go.

Explanation:

37-3=34

$5 for 2 miles

34/5 = 6 remainder 4

that is 12 miles. But since she still has 4 dollars left, she can go another mile. so, 12 +1 = 13

hope this helps :)
