Question

A taxi driver charges a flat rate of $3.25 plus an additional $0.75 per mile. If Amanda has, at most, $70 for a cab ride, how far can she travel?

Answer 1

Answer : Amanda can go 89 miles with the 70 dollars she has

Step - by - step explanation :

First, you have to remove the flat rate from the 70 dollars ( since it's a secure amount )

What is 70 - 3.25 ? 66.75

Second, to find out how many miles she can go - we do 66.35 divided by 0.75 ( because it's 0.75 per mile ).

What is 66.75 divided by 0.75 ? 89
