Question

A taxi cab charges $4.00 per minute for local

roads and $7.00 per minute for highways. Max
rode on a taxi cab and traveled over both local
roads and a highway. If he spent $59 on a ride
that lasts 11 minutes in total, how much time
did Max spend in the taxi going over the local
roads?

Answer 1

5 minutes with 7$,6 minutes with 4$

Explanation:

Let's just say that he travelled only local

11 ×4 =44$(the false sume)

59 - 44 =15 (the difference between the real sume and the false)

7-4 =3$(the difference between the highway and local)

15 :3 =5minutes with 7$

11-5 =6 minutes with 4$
