The Allied Taxi Company charges $2.50 to pick up a passenger and then adds $1.95 per mile. Isaac was charged $27.46 to go from o
ne city to another. If x represents the BIG POINTS IF YOU ANSWER CORRECTLY PLEASE ANSWER ASAP number of miles driven by the taxi, which linear equation can be used to solve this problem, and how many miles did Isaac travel, rounded to the nearest tenth?
1.95x + 2.50 = 27.46; Isaac traveled 15.4 miles.
1.95x + 2.50 = 27.46; Isaac traveled 12.8 miles.
2.50x + 1.95 = 27.46; Isaac traveled 11.8 miles.
2.50x + 1.95 = 27.46; Isaac traveled 10.2 miles.
The percent increase is found by finding the difference between the two prices and then dividing that different by the beginning price.
For this example it would be 65-39= $26. So $26/$39(the starting price) is 0.666... This is equivalent to about 66.67%. So, the price of the card increased by about 66.67%
