Question

The initial charge to ride in a taxi is $3.00 plus 75 cents per half mile traveled. Carson paid $13.50 for his last taxi ride. How many miles was Carson’s taxi ride?

Answer 1

14 miles

Explanation:

13.50 - 3 = 10.50 ------ You're taking away the initial charge

10.50 / 0.75 = 14 ------ You are making 75 a decimal because it is paid in cents not dollars

Hope this helps !
