Question

Abby needs to take a taxi to go to the movies, the taxi charges 4.00 flag fee for the pick up and then 2.75 for each mile driven, if the total charge of her taxi was 20.50 how far was Abby’s taxi ride to the movie?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

x = miles driven

4.00 + 2.75 * x = 20.50

2.75x = 20.50 - 4.00 = 16.50

so

x = 16.50/2.75 = 6 miles
