Question

write an equation for the following: A taxi cab in Myrtle Beach charges $2 per mile and $1 for every person. If a taxi cab ride for two people costs $12, how far did the taxi cab travel?

Answer 1

He drove 5 miles!

Explanation:

So if he has 2 people and 1 dollar a person that will be 2 dollars just for them. If you take 2 away from 12 you get 10. Then he drove 5 miles because if you do 5 x 2 its equals ten dollars. So he drove 5 miles!

Hope this helps and Happy Halloween!
