Because 24 is an even number. This means it has more factors and is easier to divide into integers than 23 or 25.

Taxi A
2miles £3.50+£3.50=£7.00
Taxi B
2miles £1.25+£4.00=£5.25

Taxi A
3miles £3.50+£5.25=£8.75
Taxi B
3miles £1.25+£6.00=£7.25

Taxi A
4miles £3.50+£7.00=£10.50
Taxi B
4miles £1.25+£8.00=£9.25

Taxi A
5miles £3.50+£8.75=£12.25
Taxi B

Taxi B
8miles £1.25+£16.00=£17.25

Taxi A

Taxi B
9miles £1.25+£18.00=£19.25 (the same)

They would have to drive 9 miles for the taxi to cost the same.

Hope this helped, this is the longest way to work it out but also the simplest.

A pan has an original price of $32 but is marked down by 15 percent. Which equation shows the new price of the price
sergejj [24]
We suggest, that the number 32 is 100% - because it is the output value of the task. 
<span>We suggest, that x is the value that we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 32 is 100%, so we can jot it down as 32=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know for sure, that x is 15% of the output value, so we can jot it down as x=15%. </span>
5. Now, these are the equations are we have.
1) 32=100%
2) x=15%
where the left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
32/x=100%/15%
6. Now we just have to work out the equation, and we'll get the answer that we want.

7. Answer for what is 15% of 32

32/x=100/15
<span>(32/x)*x=(100/15)*x       - </span>multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>32=6.66666666667*x       - </span>divide both sides of the equation by (6.66666666667) to get x
<span>32/6.66666666667=x </span>
<span>4.8=x </span>
x=4.8

<span>15% of 32=4.8
So, the answer is $4.8
Hope this helped</span>
