Question

Michael hires a cab that charges a fare of $0.50 per mile, plus an initial charge of $2. Jason hires a cab that charges a fare of $0.50 per mile, plus an initial charge of $3.50.
At how many miles will the fares paid by Michael and Jason become equal?

Answer 1

use reapeted addition and keep adding +$0.50 until you get $4.00 for it to be equal with Jason's total which was $4.00

so it will be at 3 miles.

or just multiply micheals total by 3.:) hope it helped!!
