Question

The taxi fare in Gotham City is $2.40 for the first ½ mile and additional mileage charged at the rate $0.20 for each additional 0.1 mile. You plan to give the driver a $2 tip. How many miles can you ride for $10? Write your answer in a equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

6.30 $

Step-by-step explanation:

FIRST 1/2 MILE CHARGE IS 2.40$.... THEN THE REMAINING 9.5 MILES ARE MULTIPLIED BY

0.20$ AND ADDED WITH A TIP OF 2$....FINALLY YOU RECIEVE THE SUM AS 6.30 $

Answer 2

Answer: 3.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of miles you ride. The number of miles you ride after the first half mile is x - 0.5. We can write this equation:

10 = 2.4 + 0.2 * (x-0.5)÷0.1 + 2

5.6 = 2(x - 0.5)

2.8 = x - 0.5

x = 3.3

Therefore, 3.3 miles is the answer to this problem.
