Question

Sue and Cath have $20 left for a cab fare home. The cab fare is $3 per mile plus a $2 fixed charge. What is the maximum number of miles they will be able to travel in the cab?

Answer 1

6 hours

Explanation:

There is a direct fee of 2 dollars, so 20-2=18. Then, to figure out how many hours you can go, divide 18/3, which is 6.

You can drive 6 hours.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

6 because 6x3=28 plus the $2 fixed fee is $20
