Question

In large cities, people often take taxis to get from one place to another. If a 36 mile costs $25.20, what is the cost per mile? How much would a 47 mile ride cost? I need two answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.70 per mile

47 miles = $32.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion

36 miles / $25.20 = 1 mile / $x

Cross multiply

36x = 25.20

Divide both sides by 36

x = 0.7

0.7 × 47 to find the cost for 47 miles

0.7 × 47 = 32.90
