Answer:

28 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of miles

y ----> the total cost of taxi fare

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

In this problem we have

The unit rate or slope is equal to

m=\$0.20\ per\ mile

The initial value or y-intercept is equal to

b=\$2.40

substitute

y=0.20x+2.40

Find out how many miles can you ride for $10

Subtract $2 of the tip

we have

y=$10-$2=$8

substitute in the linear equation

8=0.20x+2.40

Solve for x

0.20x=8-2.40

0.20x=5.60

[tex]x=28\ miles/tex]

Boxes of cereal normally cost £2.89 each, but a supermarket has a special offer: Boxes of Cereal 3 for the price of 2
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

9 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Boxes of Cereal 3 for the price of 2, the the price of the 3 boxes of cereals must be : 2 × £2.89 = £5.78

Boxes Megan can buy for the offer = £20 ÷ £5.78  = 3.46 (to 3 s.f.)≈ 3

3 × 3 =9 packs

But they actually only cost : 3 × £5.78  = £17.34

Therefore after buying the offer Megan has £20 - £17.34 = £ 2.66 left, which is not enough to buy a single pack, so the answer is 9.
