A taxi company charges $2.50 plus $1.10 for each mile driven.Weite an equation to represent this situation. Use this equation to determine how far you can travel if you have $10.00

Respuesta :

Let x = number of miles driven
Let n = $

$1.10x + $2.50 = n

$1.10x + $2.50 = $10
- $2.50 - $2.50
$1.10x = $7.50
———- ———-
$1.10 $1.10

x = 6 miles

check work

$1.10x + $2.50 = n
$1.10(6) + $2.50 = $10?
$6.60 + $2.50 = $10?
$9.10 = $10
you’ll have 90 cents left over
