Question

A taxicab charges riders a flat fee of 3.75 and an additional 0.85 per mile of their trips.id Diego was charged 10.55 for his taxicab ride, how far was his trip?

Answer 1

8 miles.

Explanation:

As we know that the flat fee is 3.75, we can deduct it from the total, 10.55, leaving us with 6.80.

As we also know the rate per mile, we can divide the amount charged for the miles by the mile rate,

680/85 = 8
