Question

A taxi driver chargers $2.80 for an initial fee and $1.20 for each mile. Write and solve an equation to find out how many miles a passenger can travel for $20.

Answer 1

Answer:

14 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

2.80+1.20x=20

-2.80            -2.80

1.20x=17.20

1.20x/1.20= 17.20/1.20

x=14 miles
