Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Ann took a taxi home from the airport. The taxi fare was $2.10 per mile, and she gave the driver a tip of $5. Ann paid a total of $49.10.
Let x be the distance in miles between airport and Ann's home. The fare per mile taxi ride is $2.10, therefore, the fare for x miles of taxi ride will be 2.10x.
We can see that $5 will be constant value for our equation as it will remain same. will be total amount paid by Ann for x miles of taxi ride including tip.
We can write an equation to determine the distance between airport and Ann's home by equating fare of x miles plus tip given by Ann's to driver with total amount paid by Ann.
Therefore, an equation representing the distance in miles between airport and Ann's home will be .
It is given in the question that
Anna buys 12 pens and 20 pencils for a total cost of $16. One pen costs $0.40 more than a pencil.
Let the cost of pencil is $ x .
Therefore cost of pen is
According to the question
Distributing 12 and combining like terms, we will get
Therefore cost of pencil is $0.35 and cost of pen is
