Question

F A taxicab company charges $2.80 plus $0.40 per mile. Carmen paid a fare of $8.80. Enter and solve an equation to find the number of miles she traveled. Use m as your variable.​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

8.80-2.80=6

6/0.40=15 miles

Answer 2

m = miles traveled.

$2.80 + $0.40m = $8.80

Subtract $2.80 from both sides.

$0.40m = $6.00

Divide both sides by $0.40

m = 15

Carmen traveled a total of 15 miles.
