Based on the charged amount, Lupita drove 8.76 miles.

Let us assume the number of miles rode bh Lupita be x. Forming the equation now -

Total charge = flat rate + cost per mile × number of miles

Keep the values in above mentioned equation to find the value of x

40.03 = 6.75 + 3.20×x

Rewriting the equation with respect to x

3.20x = 40.03 - 6.75

3.20x = 33.28

Shifting 3.20 to Right Hand Side of the equation

x = 33.28 ÷ 3.20

Performing division on Right Hand Side of the equation

x = 8.76 miles

Thus, Lupita drove 8.76 miles.
