The equation is x = 20.85 / 1.75 where x is the number of miles and the number of miles is 11.91 miles.

Given,

Sydney took a taxi from her house to the airport.

The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $1.75 per mile.

The total fare was $20.85, not including the tip.

We need to write and solve an equation that can be used to determine the number of miles in the taxi ride.

We have,

Taxi fare per mile = $1.75

Total fare = $20.85

Find the number of miles in a total fare of $20.85.

$1.75 = 1 mile

Multiplying by 20.85 on both sides.

20.85 x $1.75 = 20.85 x 1 mile

Dividing by 1.75 on both sides.

(20.85 x $1.75) / 1.75  = (20.85 x 1 mile) / 1.75

$20.85 = 11.91 mile

We see that  11.91 miles will cost $20.85.

Write an equation to show this situation.

x = 20.85 / 1.75

Where x is the number of miles.

we get,

x = 20.85 / 1.75 = 11.91

Thus the equation is x = 20.85 / 1.75 and the number of miles is 11.91 miles.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Total profits = 49.50n

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of each quilt = $30.50

Selling price of each quilt = $80

Profits = selling price - cost price

= $80 - $30.50

= $49.50

Profits = $49.50

If n = number of quilts she sells

which expression could be used to represent her total profits?

Total profits = profits of each quilt × number of quilt sold

= $49.50 × n

= 49.50n

Total profits = 49.50n

I need help rn.................
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Alex has £44

Pierre has £66

Step-by-step explanation:

P = A + 20

P+ 22 = 2A

solve for A

plug in p

(A + 20) + 22 = 2A

A + 44 = 2A

subtract A from both sides

44 = A

solve for P

plug A in

P = 44 +22

P = 66
