A cab company charges a flat amount of $5 plus $1.10 per mile traveled. If at the end of a cab ride a customer owes the driver $13.80, then how many miles did the customer travel in the cab?

Answer 1

I believe that the number of miles traveled would be 8. This is because you would subtract $5.00 from the $13.80 and then divided by $1.10.
