Question

You have $20. You want to spend it all to get home. The taxi driver charges $2 for entry. The driver also charges $5 for each mile. You also leave a $3 tip. How many miles can you go in the taxi?

Answer 1

you start off with 20$, minus the 2 for the entry that gives you 18$. then if you leave a $3 tip that would leave you with 15$. each mile is $5 , 5 goes into 15, 3 times , therefore you would be able to go 3 miles for $15 .

Answer 2

3 miles. :-)

Explanation:

20 - 2 = 18

18 - 3 = 15

15 ÷ 5 = 3

3 miles
