Answer: Juan travelled 28 miles in the taxi
Step-by-step explanation:
A taxi company charges $2.25 for the first mile and then $0.20 per mile for each additional mile. This means that for m additional miles, the charge will be 2.25 + 0.20(m - 1)
So if F represents the fare, then
F = $2.25 + $0.20(m - 1)
If Juan's taxi fare was $7.65, to determine the number of miles that she paid for, we would substitute F = $7.65 into the equation,
F = $2.25 + $0.20(m - 1). It becomes
7.65 = 2.25 + 0.20(m-1)
7.65 = 2.25 + 0.20m - 0.20
7.65 - 2.25 + 0.20 = 0.2m
0.2m = 5.6
m = 5.6/0.2 = 28 miles
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
add the like terms,
9x - 8 = 55
9x = 63
x = 63 ÷ 9
x = 7
I this the answer you are looking for would probably be 47.7%.
hope this helps!!
