Question

Alex decides that he wants to ride the taxi. The cost of the taxi is fixed at $4.00, no matter how many miles you go. For each mile you travel, it is 25 cents per mile. If Alex paid $18.00, how many miles did she travel?

Answer 1

56 miles

Explanation:

First, we minus the total paid with the cost of the taxi = $18-$4 = $14

$14 is what Alex paid for total of miles she travel

Each mile = $0.25

So, $14 ÷ $ 0.25 = 56 miles
