Question

The taxi fare in Las Vegas is $3.50 for the first mile, and $2 for each additional mile after the first. If you have $29.50, how many miles can you ride? What’s the equation?

Answer 1

Answeryou'll be able to ride 14 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your price is 29.50. if the first mile is 3.50 you'll subtract that from the 29.50 you originally had. Now you're left with 26.00. If you divide that by the two dollars you pay for every next mile you'll have 13 miles. Now add that first mile and you have 14. Hopefully  this made sense!
