Question

Fabian took a taxi from his house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $4.80 plus $4 per mile. The total fare was $44.80, not including the tip. How many miles was the taxi ride?

Answer 1

Answer:

The taxi drove 11 miles and the 80c is not a full mile but about 80% of one.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the taxi says to pay $4 and it ends up as $44 it should be 11 miles

4 x 11 = 44

I hope this helps. ^^

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer = 10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets make an equation we know that the pick up fee was $4.80 and that Fabian had to pay an extra $4 for every mile. The total amount Fabian paid was $44.80. So the equation would look like this, 4x+4.80=44.80. When we solve for x we find that the taxi ride was 10 miles.

Hope that helps! :)
