Question

Max takes a taxi to work one day. The taxi charges. A $6 flat fee plus $0.25 per mile. Max wants to spend exactly $12.50. How many miles will he travel in the taxi for this amount?

Answer 1

12.50 - 6 = 6.50
6.50/.25 = 26
26 miles

Answer 2

12.50 - 6 = 6.50
6.50 ÷ .25 = 26
So he could travel 26 miles :)
