Here we must write and solve a linear equation to find the number of miles that Arun traveled in the taxi. We will find that Eva traveled 11 miles.

So we know that the taxi charges a fee of $4.10 and then a plus of $0.50 per mile.

So if you travel for m miles, the cost equation is:

C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m

Now, we know that for Eva the total fare (total cost) was $9.60, then we need to solve:

$9.60 = C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m

$9.60 = $4.10 + $0.50*m

$9.60 - $4.10 = $0.50*m

$5.50 = $0.50*m

$5.50/$0.50 = m = 11

This means that Arun traveled 11 miles in the taxi.
