Question

A taxi charges a flat rate of $7.50 plus an additional $0.35 per mile. If Aliana has at most $25 to spend on the cab ride, how far could she travel?

Answer 1

Answer : Aliana can go 50 miles with the 25 dollars she has

Step - by - step explanation :

First, you have to remove the flat rate from the 25 dollars ( since it's a secure amount )

What is 25 - 7.50 ? 17.50

Second, to find out how many miles she can go - we do 17.50 divided by 0.35 ( because it's 0.35 per mile ).

What is 17.50 divided by 0.35 ? 50
