Question

ann took a taxi home from the airport. the taxi fare was $2.10 per mile and she gave the driver a $5 tip. Ann paid a total of $49.10. What is an equation to determine the distance in miles from Anns home to the airport?

Answer 1

First, lets subtract the tip because that is not included with the amount of miles. Then, we need to divide the difference by 2.10 to find the amount of miles:

(49.1/5)/2.1 = amount of miles it takes to reach Ann's home

Hope this helps!
