Question

A taxi cab company charges a flat amount of $5.00 plus a rate of $3.00 per mile traveled, what is the total number of miles traveled if the fare was $41.00

Answer 1

Explanation:

Amount charged = $5.00

Amount charged for per mile = $3.00

Miles traveled =

Total amount charged = $41.00

Total amount = $3 per mile - $5

41-5 = 35

Miles traveled= $35 ÷ $3

35÷3 = 11.66

Miles traveled = 11/11.66
