Answer:

10.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x

and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03

Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:

($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28

Finally, divide both sides by ($3.20/mile):

x = $33.28 / ($3.20/mile)

= 10.4 miles

Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.
